Hey Mike,
Yes, I think I provided some bad code! The document.write should be used to
output the ENTIRE input tag as it is not possible to put a tag within a tag.
I'm surprised nobody else mentioned this!
So, something like this:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
document.write('<input type="text" value="' + url["foo"] + '" />');
</script>
Sorry bout that.
