JavaScript Variable Quesiton

[tboneuls]

This shoule be simple, but i forget how to do it. I want to link to a page such as http://www.domain.com/index.shtml?Page=SomePage and then when the page loads, have a variable called Page with the contents SomePage. If I'm not explaining this correctly, let me know - ill try again.

You'll need to write a function to parse the query string and pass the values to Javascript variables. Here's a sample code.

function getQueryVariable(variable) {
  var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
  var vars = query.split("&");
  for (var j=0;j<vars.length;j++) {
    var pair = vars[j].split("=");
    if (pair[0] == variable) {
    return pair[1];
    }
  }
  return 0;
}

So, if you want to get the content of the variable Page you would call the function getQueryVariable() with the following parameter:

var Page = getQueryVariable("Page");
