Can someone show me how to take a value and pass to dislay as text on a page.

so maybe using a simple text box and entering a value and then submiting it to display what was typed there.

This is about as simple as it gets, unless you use a server side language to post the variables to, PHP, CGI, ASP, whatever. This will only take the first argument, and display it.

parse.html

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function getID(){
var str = new String(document.location);
vars = str.split("=");
if (vars.length >1)
return vars[1];
else
return "Enter Something Below"
}
</script>
<title>BlankPage</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
document.write(getID() + "<br>");
</script>
<form name="temp" method="get" action="parse.html">
<input type="text" name="MyField" value=""><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>


That should give you something to work from anyway. Right now it just posts to itself.
