<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Try This, put this function in your <head> tags.</P>
<P>------------------</P>
<P><script type="text/javascript"></P>
<P>function getparam( name )<BR>{<BR> name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"<A>\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\</A>]");<BR> var regexS = "[\\?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)";<BR> var regex = new RegExp( regexS );<BR> var results = regex.exec( window.location.href );<BR> if( results == null )<BR> return "";<BR> else<BR> return results[1];<BR>}</P>
<P><BR></script></P>
<P>-------------------</P>
<P>So, if you had a URL like: <A href="http://www.somesite.co.uk/id200707030607.html?image=5">http://www.somesite.co.uk/id200707030607.html?image=5</A></P>
<P>Then, to get any variable in the URL, sucj as the "image", simply call:</P>
<P><script><BR>var showstyle = getparam( 'image');</P>
<P>alert(""+showstyle+"")</P>
<P></script></P>
<P>Hope it helps,</P>
<P>Al...<BR><BR></P>
