Hi,
How can I pull information from the URL into javascript?
Thank you in advance

OK, sorry, crap question. Found out now that I need to use document.URL however I have another problem.
I only want the GET data from the URL. In PHP I would use the explode function with ? or & as the parameter to explode on. Is there a similar function that I should use in Javascript or is there some other way around the problem?
Thank You
Rob

Use the Window.location.search property instead and then use Regular Expressions to split up the key/value pairs. Here's a little Query class. Query objects will have as properties all of the key/value pairs. You're welcome.

function Query () {
if (self.location.search) {
this.query = self.location.search.replace(/^\?/, '');
var pairs = this.query.split('&');
for (i=0;i<pairs.length;i++) {if (/(.*)=(.*)/.test(pairs[i])) this[unescape(RegExp.$1)] = unescape(RegExp.$2)};
}
}

Query.prototype.toString = function () {return this.query}

var query = new Query();
