how to retrieve data in hta called page?

[jfdabiri]

hi,
i have an hta app that uses vbscript. when a link is clicked, it sends data. here's the code:

"<a href=" & chr(34) & "test.hta?unit_id=" & _                                     
                                      
"&row=1" & chr(34) & ">" &  full_name

this link calls test.htm with the data: full_name
how do i retrieve full_name in test.hta? i know how this is done in asp (using request.querystring). but when i code this in hta, it throws an error (request - object required)
any ideas how i can retrieve data being passed two hta's?
thanks.

not sure about hta pages if using the above code then you are not actually passing full_name with your query string!!

if thats not the issue i apologise for wasting your time!!!

thanks,
ok, i changed the hta's into html's. i can see the url's on the top of the new window when the page is displayed like this:
file:///H:/public/updateDB.html?email=jerry@isp.net&model=T40&row=1
on this page, i have vbscript. all i want to do is retrieve email and model. how would i code in vb script to retrieve these two items. i know how to do it in asp by using request.querystring, but html and vbscript does not like that object.
thanks.

the bottom line is reading data from url in html, not asp. any ideas?
