Fill HTML input box?

**Evan** · Jun 9th, 2004, 12:58 PM

Is there a way you can tell an HTML code (from the URL) to fill a input box with a value?

Something like

index.htm?txt1=name

No, but you can do it with JavaScript, using the window.location variable I think, and then parse it out...

I can make an example if you want

My bad, It's location.href

Here's a rather undymanic example, but it should do about what you say, just pass txt1=yourtext, and and it should parse it ok =).

Code:

<html>

<body>

<form name=myform>
<input type=text name=txt1>
</form>

<script>
var loc=location.href;
if (loc.indexOf("txt1=") > -1) {

	document.myform.txt1.value = loc.substr(loc.indexOf("txt1=")+5,loc.length);

}
</script>


</body>

</html>

Hope it helped
