Hi,

var page2Arg = location.search.substr(1).split("=")

produces the following array:

page2Arg[0] = var
page2Arg[1] = value

location.search.substr(1) produces a string beginning with first char after the "?"

4 hours sleep and going for a 6 hour drive.

You'll be passing the info like this:
page2.html?my_var=my_value

I've not used much VBScript client side. Mainly because I think it's only suppored by IE (not Netscape).

Using ASP (written in VBScript), the code to retreive the var would be:
my_var = Request.QueryString("my_var")

'my_var' will be given the value of whatever was opposite the equal sign in the querystring, and you can use it elsewhere in your script.

It's about 1AM here. So, I'm making my last rounds before I go to bed.

on a second HTML page, client side. It is about 5:00pm friday here so i'm going for a beer. Thanks everyone and have a good weekend. Looking forward to hearing how to do this.

Is the variable to be used server-side (using ASP) or client-side on the second page?
