[iamdavidlee]

Hi

I have a html pages which has some querystring vales...

http://www.example.com/test.htm?category=games

I am now trying to get the querysting using javascript and pass it to an XML parser but i dont know how to do that.

The XML parser should look like this...
<xml id="cdcat" src="

http://www.example.com/test.asp?category=games"></xml>

But I am not sure how to add the querystring value in the in the above line.

I teid the following
<script language="javascript">
fullURL = parent.document.URL
xxx = fullURL.substring(fullURL.indexOf('?')+3, fullURL.length)
alert(xxx);
</script>

<xml id="cdcat" src="

http://www.example.com/test.asp?<javascript:'document.write(xxx)'>"></xml>

But this didnt work... help please.....

would really appreciate the help...

Thanks
David

To get the query string, you would do this:

var qStr = location.href.substr(location.href.indexOf('?')));

then to append it to the src parameter, you can use this:

<xml id="cdcat" src=""></xml>

with this:

document.getElementById('cdcat').src = '[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.example.com/test.asp'[/URL] + qStr;

Hope this helps,
Dan
