"JavaScript Query"

I'm sure it is, but can't remember how :)

I'm after a little bit of code that can take in any query string from the Web Address, and store it as a normal variable, ready for use in the script.

For example: index.php?User=Chris&Age=20

I'd like to be able to get the info from User (in this case, Chris) and be able to use it in the script.

Can anyone shed some light onto the possible code??

I know PHP would do this in a sinch, but this particular host doens't have PHP.

Thanks :).

Wicked, thanks for that :)

I owe you one.

So the script would then be...

I've done it for you :-D



to split the url it would just be:

var urlsplit=location.href.split('/')

urlsplit[1] would then be what I've defined as string above.

:-D

Oh yeah, forgot to ask :)

How would I implement the split() function to get the Site Address ... is there a pre-defined var for the address the browser is currently at??

eg:
var this_site = doccument.url;
an_array = split(this_site);
????

Thanks :)

split(), thats a built in JavaScript function, correct??

Thanks I'll give that a go.

Hidden Inputs could work, but I'd prefer using Text Links rather than Form Buttons.

In fact, you could just split it at the = and do one more split at the & to remove that part and Robert's your mother's brother.

You could also take the address and use split() on it then set variables to the array.

var name=address[4] or whatever. Would take some working out to narrow the split down to the name and age but it would work. As M_m said, a bit clunky but it'll do what it needs to.

i.e.

Address given is: index.php?name=Chris&age=20

Hidden input forms on page:

These are filled with the values, then use Javascript:



That should work.

Can't you set hidden input boxes and then use functions to take the values from the boxes as the page loads? A bit clunky, but it should work.

I'm sure it is, but can't remember how :)
