Hi Talluri

If it’s an additional value you’ve added yourself -

something like http://www.db.nsf/talluri?openform&day=tuesday

then to retrieve the “day” value from that URL what we do is:

Add a CFD field called Query_String with a value of Query_String

Add a CFD field called QueryList with a value of:

sParams := @ReplaceSubstring( @RightBack(Query_String; 9); “%20”; " ");

@Explode( @Explode( sParams; “&” ); “=” )

The add any field name you want, editable, CFD or whatever, and the value would be:

loc:=@Member(“day”; QueryList);

@If(loc=0; “”; @Subset(@Subset(QueryList; loc+1); -1))

It might look long-winded, but it’s grown over time here, to allow us to get whichever variable/value we need as we build things up.

If you need to do it in JS, instead of @formulas, let me know, I can post that too.

Subject: Use Query_String_Decoded, not Query_String

To avoid having to deal with URL Decoding all kinds of characters (e.g. %20 and + for space), always use the “Query_String_Decoded” CGI field, not “Query_String”

Hi Talluri,

No worries, glad I could help!

In JS, you could use the following:

sRet = argItems(day)

function argItems (theArgName) {

sArgs = location.search.slice(1).split(‘&’);

r = '';

for (var i = 0; i < sArgs.length; i++) {

    if (sArgs[i].slice(0,sArgs[i].indexOf('=')) == theArgName) {

        r = sArgs[i].slice(sArgs[i].indexOf('=')+1);

        break;

    }

}

return (r.length > 0 ? unescape(r).split(',') : '')

}
