How to send a string to another page e.g. simple online photo almbum

page1.html

<a href="page 2.html#PassedInformation">Link</a>

page2.html

this code brabs the information after the '#' charecter:
var loc=document.location.href;
var information=loc.substring(loc.indexOf("#")+1,loc.length);

this is very handy to create a template page used for photographs etc..
i.e.

Page1.html
<a href="page 2.html#Pic1">Link to Pic1</a>
<a href="page 2.html#Pic2">Link to Pic2</a>
<a href="page 2.html#Pic3">Link to Pic3</a>

Page2.html
var loc=document.location.href;
var PicName=loc.substring(loc.indexOf("#")+1,loc.length);

and in the body of page2.html:
document.write("<img src=img/"+PicName+".jpg>");

Basically you dont have to make like about 50 individual pages for your online photo album. all ya gotta do is name your pics Pic1.jpg, Pic2.jpg, Pic3.jpg etc...
