Is there a way in Javascript to get the arguments passed to the url from the address bar?
If I have a page test.htm and I open it like test.htm?id=99&name=user
is there a way to get the id and name arguments?

Get them using a server side script, I usually do that...
<script>
var var1=<%=Request("var1")%>;
</script>
An example using ASP
test.htm
temp.htmPHP Code:<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Popup Example</TITLE>
<SCRIPT>
function ButtonClick()
{
window.open('temp.htm?id=345', null, null);
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<BUTTON onclick="ButtonClick()">Open Window</BUTTON>
</BODY>
</HTML>
I get a Syntax error on line 7 when temp.htm pops up.PHP Code:<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Popup Example</TITLE>
<SCRIPT>
function GetId()
{
var var1= <% Request("id") %>;
alert(var1);
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
you need = after the <% sign, and the file needs to be renamed to .asp, furthermore does the server you run it from have to support ASP.
In pure client-side JavaScript you need to parse the url yourself, you can get it from
location.href
