If your alert is displaying "undefined", this should be an indication
that you have not defined a value for myValue. myValue references
args["uP_fname"]. So: if you have not defined a value for myValue, then
args["uP_fname"] has not had a value defined. Inspecting the URI that
you have supplied will reveal that you have no value in the querystring
identified by the identifier "uP_fname". The solution is left as an
exercise for the reader :)
