[Javascript] Extract portion of URL and place in form field

[Andrew Dunn]

Try this (forgive the variable names):

var thestring;
var otherstring;
var locofequal;
	
thestring = window.location.search;
locofequal = thestring.indexOf("=");
otherstring = thestring.substring((locofequal + 1),thestring.length); 
alert(otherstring);

I couldn't agree more.

Unfortunately, I'm under a ittle pressure to get this done for a promo we
are running, and much as I would love to spend the time learning, I simply
just don't have the opportunity right now.

But thanks anyway.
