Simple Help with Variables

[.Darkman]

Hello everybody,

 

I need some small help with GET Variables in JS.

 

I'll explain this with an example.

 

 

In an HTML file, i have the following code :

<script type="javascript" src="http://anothersite.com/file.js?name=Darkman"></script>

 

The JS file is as follows :

document.write("The name is '+name+'");

 

Now, how do i detect and store this "Darkman" in the "name" variable ?

 

 

Thanks,

<script type="text/javascript">
var url = String(window.location);
var index = url.indexOf("?");
var data = url.substr(index+1);

var splitted = data.split("=");
var getName = splitted[0];
var getVar = splitted[1];
</script>

 

getName will have the variable name in you case NAME

getVar will have the variable value in your case Darkman

Other option is to set the name variable before hand

<script language="javascript">
var name = "darkman";
</script>
<script type="javascript" src="http://anothersite.com/file.js"></script>
