Getting HTTP VARS

[jazztie]

I have a little problem.
I want to get the variables which are passes through from one page to another.

I.e. I have a form on one page which posts (method="post") a variable 'TEST' to another page.

In the second page I want to use this variable in a form.

Can this be done, and if so: HOW?

Any help is appreciated!

I don't believe that can be done with JavaScript, POST variables can only be read by a server-side language (PHP,, CFM, .NET). JavaScript can read the querystring (GET) however so maybe try that. Unfortunately I don't know how to get variables from there though

[siteguru]

theURL = location.href;
if (theURL.indexOf("?") > -1) {
  els = theURL.split("?");
  if (els.length == 1) {
    theQS = els[1];
  } else {
    theQS = "";
  }
} else {
  theQS = "";
}

Perhaps??? If the current page (location.href) is "http://www.domain.com/page.htm?item1=value1&item2=value2" then theQS will contain "item1=value1&item2=value2". Obviously you can split() again on "&" to get each argument.
