  I want to do this, but using client side JavaScript inside an HTML document, not a server-side ASP.
  

  
  <%
  

  
  Dim versionNumber
  

  
  versionNumber = Trim(Request.QueryString("version"));
  

  
  %>
  

  
  so basically I want to know the JavaScript equivilant of VBScript's Requst.QueryString() thingummy-bob.
  

  
  I want to do something like this: www.something.com/hello.html?this=that and display something different depending on the value of "that"
  

  
  I can do it in ASP and PHP but have never needed to do it in bog-standard html be4. the target server is a cheapo one.
  

  
  thanx

  hi
  i just read your post today.. so sorry for delay.
  

  
  the part that you write after a ?..=...
  i gues you know its data passed by GET method.. these are contents of forms generally passed .aslo know as url rewriting.. you always pass get paramters to a program and never to a HTML page..
  baically a programming langugae on the server side is rewuired to use these values you pass.and do something with them..
  a simple HTLM page (with jaavascript in it) is used to only display data.. it cannot manipulate these get  parameters..
  

  
  at least thats what i feel..if u ever get a way to do this..pl pl do tell me...
