Question:
I want to attach a parameter to a URL like this, “url?name=value”, and use the parameter on the HTML page. Is this possible?
Answer:
Yes; you can do this by using the following code:
paramVals = ""if (document.URL) { callingURL = document.URL hookPos = callingURL.indexOf("?") if (hookPos != -1) { paramVals = callingURL.substring(hookPos+1,callingURL.length) }}
At the end of this, you’ll have a variable called paramVals that contains everything in the URL after the “?”. You can then just look at that to get the values that you passed the page.
