accessing javascript arguments

[mmj]

Say I have a tag like this

<SCRIPT src="navbar.js?width=580"></SCRIPT>

This is just a very simplified example.

In my navbar.js file, how would I retrieve the arguments such as "width"?

ie

var width = /*?????*/;
document.write("<TABLE width="+width+">");


Thanks,

Hey,

What you could do is define width in the HTML page:

width="whateveR";
<SCRIPT src="navbar.js"></SCRIPT>

I don't remember if JavaScript has any support for QueryStrings (a QueryString is the width=580 part), but if you want you could use regular expressions to rip it out of the pathname. Let me know if you would like me to elaborate any more, and if I figure out if JS supports a QueryString then I will write you back :-)

Yes, I've figured it out now.

In fact it is more like this:

<script language="javascript" src="navbar.js"></SCRIPT>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
insertnavbar(580);
//-->
</SCRIPT>

I define the function in navbar.js but do not call it yet, so I can call it from the page

This will do until I get a host that supports SSI.
