Javascript Querystrings

[n3urai]

Is there a way to read a querystring with javascript? How do i do this?

Also can javascript get the url in the address bar of the browser of the current page you are on.

If anyone can help me out with this i would appreciate it. I have been looking for these and so far i am unable to lacate what i need.


Thanks

something like this perhaps??

// Assuming URL is something like: 
// [url]http://www.domain.com?name=John[/url]

var URL = new String(parent.document.location);
var item = URL.split("?");
var single = item[1].split("=");


single[0] = name
single[1] = fname
