request.url

[marianmarian]

hi there,

i am trying to request an id from a url like this:

http://somewebsite.com/threadminder.cfm?spid=216&ID=216#PostForm

can i do this in javascript, and if so how? and if it is possible can i pass that id in my existing html document url to be submitted to the next page.

so basically when i get the id from the url, i would like to pass it to a url in that present html document.

thanks for all your responses.

each time i try to use request.querystring in javascript in my .aspx page, each time i run the query i get "Request is undefined" can someone tell me what i am doing wrong?
<SCRIPT language=javascript>
Request.QueryString("MTID");
</SCRIPT>
thanks,

Do you want to obtain the value server-side or client-side?

i want this in client side.

thanks

Try using "location.search". For an example, "alert(location.search);" on your page.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

thanks for all your responses, it works fine, but now here is my next question, how do i pass the id to my href link in my form?

here is what i have done so far:
<script jscript>
var id=location.search
var id2=id.split("&")
myID=id2[1]
</script>

<form>
<table>
<a href="somewebsite.com?id="myID>mylink</a>
</table>
</form>

thanks for all your responses
