Question : Read parameters from URL

I'm new at javascript and from what i understand what i'm trying to do is no easy step at all.  I need a javascript that will read the parameters from the URL so i can write them in my table.  The only way i can see being able to do this is by reading the parameters into variables and then using the document.write(variablename); to display the results.  i'd REALLY appreciate all the help i can get here.

Answer : Read parameters from URL

adapt this to your code and try:

var theUrl="http://mysite.org?variable1=a&variable2=2";

var urlPart = theUrl.split("?")[1];//the parameters in a url allways follow the question simbol (?)
var arrparams = urlPart.split("&");//the parameters in a url allways are separated by and &
for(var i=0; i< arrparams.length;i++){
    var nameAndValue = arrparams[i].split("=");//the params allways are pairs separated by a equals(=);
    var name=nameAndValue [0];
    var value=nameAndValue [1];
    alert("Name= "+name+"\nValue= "+value);
}
