I have been using javascipt to extract the variable from the page URL and if possible I would like this variable value to automatically show up in a form box, so that the user does not have to input the variable(a filename).
The all of this takes place on the single page.

Steve,

You said you're already extracting the variable from the URL? If that's the case then you're halfway there!

Just use a simple document.formname.elementname.value = variable

Execute it on body Onload and you should have it.

If you need to know more, let me know.

Later,
PJ

I think I almost get what you are after, but I'm not quite positive. Are you trying to use a JavaScript variable value to get it to automatically show up in a form box?
It should be possible if all is on the same page, but if not you would likely need to resort to CGI, ASP, or PHP to get it done.
