JS SRC tag and querystring

Hello,

I am desperatly trying to retrieve the quesrystring from a javascript src tag.

I.E <SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JAVASCRIPT" SRC = "http://mydomain/script.js?h=1&b=2"></SCRIPT>

Van anyone give me a clue on how to retrieve the values for h and b in this instance?

link.search will return the search portion of a URL. Suppose the link http://www.mine.com?x=1&y=4#bookmark is the fifth link on your page (in the order it appears in the code). Then:

document.links[4].search should return ?x=1&y=4

At this point, you can use your string functions to take it apart and determine your values.

On simpler data values passes through a URL, I tend to send them as a value only. This works especially well if your variables have the values of 0 thru 9 [ie:single digit or at least a set number of digits]. This way, if I pass the values 3 & 7, I can retrieve the string ?37 which is much easier to take apart and pass where ever it is your are sending them.

Hi and thanks for the reply.

Suppose I don't know where this link will appear on the page? Any tips on how to handle that?

Thanks!
