Javascript Variables Passed Through URL

[Superwormy]

All I want to do is access variables that got passed through the URL in Javascript.

In PHP, all I'd do is refer to it by the name, so: http://www.logosoftwear.com/index.php?variable=YES

<?php

print ($variable);

?>



How can I do that similarly in Javascript? The only tutorial I can find is this: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/jspass.html which looks way to troublesome.

You could just use PHP to insert the value of the variable that was passed through:

<script language=JavaScript><!--
var strVariable = <?php
print($variable);

?>;
//-->
</script>

Arg, only its on a CGI page that frickin I can't edit and PHP won't parse stuff on that. It's GOTTA be pure Javascript.

Above script gives errors:

Line: 35
Character: 1
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method.
Code: 0


Whoppee!

Line 35 btw is: var pos = pairs.indexOf('=');
