Reload page and populate two fields from QueryString

[jofarrell]

I have a JavaScript that reloads the form after two dates are entered and I store them in the url, is there a way to have these dates either remain in their respective textboxes, or a way to fill them on load of the form? I need this to occur because if information is entered in these fields then data previously stored in the database will be shown.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Joanne

You can use my querystring object to retrive the values, but they have to be in "proper" querystring format (you may also have to escape them, but I doubt it):

<a href=&quot;mypage.htm?date1=10/10/2001&date2=10/10/2001&quot;>

then:

function QSHandler()
{
var i,j,tmparray,strata,prlen
strata = window.location.search
strata = strata.substring(1,strata.length)
if(strata.indexOf('&')>=0)
{
prsarray = strata.split('&')
prlen = prsarray.length
tmparray = new Array()
for(t=j=0;j<prlen;j++)
{
tmparray[t++] = prsarray[j].split('=')[0]
tmparray[t++] = prsarray[j].split('=')[1]
}
}
else
{
tmparray = new Array(strata.split('=')[0],strata.split('=')[1])
}
tlen = tmparray.length
this.data = new Array()
for(i=0;i<tlen;i++)
{
this.data[new String(tmparray)]=tmparray[++i]
}
this.QueryString=function(x)
{
return this.data[x]
}
}
Request = new QSHandler()

and reference the dates like so:

date1 = Request.QueryString(&quot;date1&quot
date2 = Request.QueryString(&quot;date2&quot jared@eae.net -

Thank you very much for your idea, I managed to directly assign the values to the textboxes using an if then statement if there is data present in the query string.

Once again thanks for rsponding.
