anybody got a clue why this javascript want work? i didn't include the script tags and beginning and end of the code here.

it's supposed to parse a tracking url, like http://www.whatever.com?Bob

so that Bob would be printed out.

var URLString = window.location;
var start = URLString.indexOf("?");
var end = URLString.length;
var userName = URLString.substring(start,end);
document.write(userName);

Hi,

You could define your characters within a string.

var badChars = '()?|\/*';
data = "2d434/";
for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
if (badChars.indexOf(data.substring(i, i+1)) != "-1")
alert(data.substring(i,i+1));

What language? Javascript?

I'm not a javascript guru (by far), but try escaping the characters...
mystring.search(\x)

good luck,
