: variables in the new page??
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

if you've gotta do it client-side, then you only need 8 lines of script to
accomplish it.

var qs = location.search.substring(1);
var nv = qs.split('&');
var url = new Object();
for(i = 0; i < nv.length; i++)
{
  eq = nv[i].indexOf('=');
  url[nv[i].substring(0,eq).toLowerCase()] = unescape(nv[i].substring(eq +
1));
}

the variables will now be available in a url "scope".

url.mfa, url.mfb, url.mfc, url.ffa, etc.

good luck,

.jeff
