Hey Mike,

Yes, I think I provided some bad code!  The document.write should be used to
output the ENTIRE input tag as it is not possible to put a tag within a tag.
I'm surprised nobody else mentioned this!

So, something like this:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
  document.write('<input type="text" value="' + url["foo"] + '" />');
</script>

Sorry bout that.
