QueryStrings in HTML....

[saurup]

can I write "xyz.htm?uname=abc" and then accept the querystring "uname" in javascript (client side) as in ASP ???

To retrieve everything after the '?':

var sea = window.location.search.substring(0);

example: mydomain.com/page2.html?red;blue;

var sea = window.location.search.substring(0);
// sea = "red;blue;";
var seaAry = sea.split(';');
// seaAry[0] = "red";
// seaAry[1] = "blue";

document.all.myDiv.style.color = seaAry[0];
document.all.myDiv.style.backgroundColor = seaAry[1];

you can obviously also pass javascript data and use eval() to create it into javascript references:

example by passing variables to another page:

domain.com/page2.html?mymoney=200;mytime=24;

sea = window.location.search.substring(0);
seaAry = sea.split(';');
for (var i=0;i<=seaAry.length;i++) {
eval(seaAry[i]);
}

Note: if you use spaces or non-letters/ numbers you should escape your data before sending. similar you should unescape before manipulating data.
