Getting a value from an url

[d1004]

url =

http://...index.htm?(Name=namevariable)

I've tried to put the following code into my html page, but it is not showing up.

This is index.htm

<script Language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
var qry = location.search
var qrytextnosplit = qry.substring(1)
var qrytext = qry.substring(1).split(&quot;=&quot
</script>


This is nextpage.htm

<script Language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
var displayname=parent.qrytext;
document.write(&quot;<b>Your name is:</b> &quot;+displayname);
</script>


And the displayname variable is displaying as:
Your name is: Name=Michael,Smith%20M

And I want to take out the Name= and %20...So what left is just the name. But I can't seem to get it to split.
Thank you,
