Re: Is there something like for array?

Hi Hans,

You need to use the window.location and location.search properties.

Experiment with these functions:

// originating doc function:

function send() {
// target destination:
var urlDestination = "target.html";
// destination filename:
var myFileName = "file007.jpg";
// build the "query" or "search" string
urlDestination += "?" + myFileName;
// go there:
window.location = urlDestination;
}

// destination function:

function getSearchString() {
var searchString = location.search;
// shows "?file007.jpg":
alert("search string contains = " + searchString);
}

Of course you will need to parse the parameters in a URL search
string if there are multiple name-value pairs. At the very least you
will need to get rid of the "?".
