url parameters

[adamriley]

Hi could someone please tell me if there is a way to show a parameter in the url for example the url of a file is sitemap.html?name=nathanw and then the browser would write nathanw

not perfect but works

 

<script>
function getParam(name) {
var url = location.href;

    if (url.indexOf('?') !== -1) {
        var query = url.substring(url.indexOf('?')+1, url.length);
        parts = query.split('&');
        for(i=0;i<parts.length;i++) {
            eachpart = parts[i].split("=");
            if (eachpart[0] == name) {
                return eachpart[1];
            }
        }
    }
}

document.write(getParam('name'));
</script>
