Everyone repeat after me: "Google is my friend!"

This is one of about a zillion functions for reading GET parameters I found in a Google search:

var qsParm = new Array();
function qs() {
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var parms = query.split('&');
for (var i=0; i<parms.length; i++) {
var pos = parms[i].indexOf('=');
if (pos > 0) {
var key = parms[i].substring(0,pos);
var val = parms[i].substring(pos+1);
qsParm[key] = val;
}
}
}

Reading POST variables will be a little trickier. You might try using an onsubmit handler in your form to put the POST variables into a cookie. Then use a function on the receiving page to parse the cookie.

Well, if you are running php or some other server side script you could do something like this as well:
<?php?
$myvar=$_GET['myvar'];
$myvar2=$_GET['myvar2'];
echo "<script>";
echo "var myvar=$myvar";
echo "var myvar2=$myva2r";
echo "</script>";
?>

This is how I have retrieved post values in the past. The .js function is nodoubt easier though.

well I used to convert it into JSON format instead of pure echo back, if only you have simple data structure that you can do as above.
