I pass an argument from one page to another in the address line. On the second page, I can reference that argument with vbscript by using

ID = Response("ID")

I would like to make use of that ID value in a javascript function. How do I set a javascript variable equal to a vbscript variable (something equivalent to IDjava = ID)? Alternatively, can I get the argument from the address line in javascript (is there a javascript equivalent to Response("ID"))?

Thanks,
Jeff

I have already done this with ASP:

Code: 
IDjava = &quot;<% =IDasp %>&quot;

I get bad results when I try to pass a value between the two. What I would do is...:

<script language=javascript>
function useVal(){
//get the val from the form
jsID = document.myForm.tranferVal.value
}
</script>
<script language=vbs>
sub moveVal()
ID = Response(&quot;ID&quot;)
document.myForm.tranferVal.value = ID
end sub
</script>
<body onLoad=&quot;moveVal()&quot;>
<form name=myForm>
<input type=hidden name=&quot;transferVal&quot;>
</form>


Javascript has a way to parse the querystring. The whole value of the querystring is in the location.search object:

wholeString = location.search.substring(1) //to peel off the ? mark... -- Just trying to help...

Something like this:

<%
dim ID
ID = Response(&quot;ID&quot;)
%>

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
<!--
var target = <%=ID%>;

</script>

Hope this helps,

Vlad & boomerang's response works if you are using asp pages... I got the impression, that you are just working in html.... -- Just trying to help...
