Client Side Javascript that works like ASPs QUERYSTRING

[CamaroLT]

I'm in the process of redeveloping a company web site. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a database, or an ASP/PHP engine to play with, so, I'm stuck with static HTML pages.

One of the things I'm trying to do is have one HTML page that shows one particular picture, and shows a BACK button. It would show different images via whatever file I put into the URL.

My question is, is there anything in JavaScript that will let me read whats in the URL, similar to how ASPs QueryString works?

Yes, you can read the URL like this:

var URL = location.href;

This saves the entire URL as a string and from there you can split and parse it as you wish.

absolutely

var url = String(document.location);

then use javascript's built in string methods to extract the data you need:
