Troubles while catching Parameters on IE...

[Ditter]

I've wrote a couple of functions to read parameters from the URL string, it works fine on NN but it doesn't works on IE. Why?

The related code is:

function getParameterValue(strParamName)
{

//********************************************************
//*
//* Function: getParameterValue()
//* Parameters: strParamName (String, parameter name)
//* Description: Returns the value of a parameter if it
//* exist, null string ("&quot otherwise. If
//* the given index is greater than the
//* number of elements, returns null.
//* Returns: String. If no parameter found, returns
//* a Null value.
//*
//********************************************************

var queryString = document.location.search.substring(1);
var start = queryString.indexOf(strParamName);

if(start == -1)
{
return null;
}
else
{
if( queryString.indexOf("&&quot == -1)
{
return queryString.substring(start + strParamName.length + 1 );
}

if( queryString.indexOf("&&quot == queryString.lastIndexOf("&&quot && queryString.indexOf("&&quot != -1)
{

return queryString.substring(start + strParamName.length + 1, queryString.indexOf("&&quot-1);
}

if(queryString.indexOf("&&quot != queryString.lastIndexOf("&&quot)
{

var strTemp = queryString.substring(start);
return strTemp.substring(strTemp.indexOf("=&quot+1,strTemp.indexOf("&&quot-1);

}

}

}

This script was posted by Nokios a few days ago. It should work for you.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function getParams() {
var idx = document.URL.indexOf('?');
var params = new Array();
if (idx != -1) {
var pairs = document.URL.substring(idx+1, document.URL.length).split('&');
for (var i=0; i<pairs.length; i++) {
nameVal = pairs[i].split('=');
params[nameVal[0]] = nameVal[1];
   }
}
return params;
}
params = getParams();
</script>

Dear Nick:

Thank you for your help, but I´m still wanderinf why it doesn't works on IE. Usually, is easier to work with IE... isn't it?

Thank you again! [sig][/sig]

You're right. It's usually easier to get something to work in IE. In any case, the routine posted by Nokios is more efficient and will run faster. Plus, it,s already debugged! [sig]<p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=
