[Javascript] Reading a variable from the URL

Tue Jul 17 08:49:27 CDT 2007

Terry, here is a simple example to obtain the URL info:

<html><head>
<title id=onetidTitle>Display Current URL</title>
<script language=JavaScript>
<!--
//
_____________________________________________________________________________
function CurrentURL() {
var sDocumentURL="";
var sDocumentURL = document.URL;
alert ("The current URL is "+sDocumentURL);
return sDocumentURL;
}
//________________________________________________________________
-->
</script></head>
<body>
<form name="Display_Current_URL">
<input id=DisplayURL type=button value="Click to display URL" name=DisplayURL
OnClick="CurrentURL()">
</form>
</body></html>
