pass parameter to an URL in VBScript

tyris · Nov 2, 2000

hi,
i want to pass a parameter in my URL in oder to get it back in an other page.

I know that in general we do like this:

http://www.the_URL?the_parameter

but i don't know how to get the curent URL in VBscript, how to change it and how to get it back, always in VBscript ... I have searched many hours in the web, and found nothing. In ASP or Java Script this method is called "query string".
Does anyone have an idee ?

thanks for your help

the body tag is like this
<body onload="check()">

and in the header you have the code
<script language="vbScript" >
sub check()
dim k1,k2,k3
dim metav,timi
k1=window.location

k2=instr(1, k1,"?&quot

if k2>0 then
k3=mid(k1,k2+1)
k2=instr(1, k3,"=&quot

if k2>0 then
metav=mid(k3,1,k2-1)
timi=mid(k3,k2+1)
end if
getparam1=timi
end if
msgbox (" the variable " & metav & "has the value " & timi)
end sub
</script>

Its real simple in VBScript:

if you url is

http://www.domain.com/script.asp?myparam=test

then

Param = Request.QueryString("myparam&quot

will return the value of myparam, which is "test"

Regards,
Gerald
