[thelist] referencing js variables

[Michael Pemberton]

Here's some code I wrote to extract the values from a url:

var tmpArgs=location.search.substring(1,
location.search.length).split(',');
window.args=[];
for (var i=0; i < tmpArgs.length; i++) {
	var tmpArr=tmpArgs[i].split('=');
	window.args[i]=window.args[unescape(tmpArr[0])]=unescape(tmpArr[1]);
	return;
};

It simple creates an array so that window.args[variable]=value

Just run this code when the page has loaded and all your arguments
should now be accessible in the window.args array.
