Hi Scott,
<br> Thanks for the info on the Javascript book. I am
heading to Amazon right not to check it out...I also checked out your website
and believe it or not, we have a small soapmaking business and have used
hemp seed oil in some of our products. I think when I was in my teens I
used some too but it was different :)
<br>Thanks again,
<br>Dave

Hi Peter,
<br> Thanks for the quick response on my question. I
will use this info and try to make it work again and then if I have a problem
I can ask another more specific question. What book would you consider
to be the best on Javascript? I have found that when buying books that
I usually end up with about 10-20 books on the same subject as not all
books are created equal, and some books have more info or are written in
an easier to learn fashion. I tend to favor O'Reilly or Wrox..I would like
your honest opinion of a book that I should get.....
<br>Thank you,
<br>Dave

<p> In server-speak, the parameters
after the ? in the URL are called the
<br>querystring. In the client side world... well, I don't know what
to call
<br>them, so we'll just keep calling them that :-)
<p> Using the window.location.href
property, you can get the entire URL of the
<br>current page (including parameters that you append). The correct
syntax for
<br>appending parameters is as follows:
<p><a href="http://www.domain.com/directory/file.html?param1=this¶m2=that">http://www.domain.com/directory/file.html?param1=this&param2=that</a>
<p>and so on. When you grab this entire string using window.location.href,
you
<br>can then parse the URL for the pieces you want using the .substring
and
<br>.indexOf methods and the .length property of your string. For
example, if
<br>you wanted the piece of the above URL (after putting it into a variable
<br>called strURL) after the question mark, you would do the following:
<p>strParams = strURL.substring(strURL.indexOf("?"), strURL.length);
<p> You could then split up the
pieces further. I suggest you pick one of the
<br>Javascript resources from
<br><a href="http://www.mountaindragon.com/javascript/resources.htm">http://www.mountaindragon.com/javascript/resources.htm</a>
or a good book and
<br>read up on the string methods.
<p> Alternatively, you could
do this server-side with PHP, ASP, PERL, or
<br>another scripting environment. For what it's worth, I find server-side
<br>methods easier and more powerful for dynamic content like this, but
what you
<br>want is still attainable with client-side Javascript.
<p>Cheers,
<p>Peter

<br>|Subject: [Javascript] thumbnails displayed on one html page
<br>|
<br>|
<br>|Hi,
<br>| I am not an expert so I have come to find help
on an operation I
<br>|have seen work, but cannot get it to work for me. I want to display
<br>|pictures created with thumbnails with the output going to a single
html
<br>|page so I can retain my background to match my website. This is opposed
<br>|to the full sized image being displayed on a white background and
in the
<br>|upper left hand corner. I have heard of a "?" extension (in html 4.01)
<br>|being applied to an html document in the URL address with everything
<br>|being set after a "?" in a document, accessable from javascript in
the
<br>|opened document. You can then use it to send the filename of the image
<br>|to be opened on that page. Does anybody know how to do that?
<br>|Thanks,
<br>|Dave
