Have you tried the Domino Designer Help database? There’s a section on programming for the web

Jan,
Query String is the information that follows the question mark (?) in the URL that is referenced in a script. For developing web applications using Notes, knowing JavaScript, HTML, CSS, etc. plays a vital role. Using Query String, we can pass a value of a field from one form to another form.
For ex., please consider the following example:
opt = document.forms[0].ReqType.value;
window.location.href = “http://”+server+“/”+dbname+“/Test?OpenForm&rt=”+opt+“”;
In the first line, we are getting a value of a ReqType field in a variable ‘opt’. In second line, this value is being passed to a ‘Test’ form through QS ‘rt’. For retrieving the value on ‘Test’ form, we need to create 2 hidden fields Query_String(Note:don’t change the field name) & ReqType respectively. In ReqType field, we can put the default formula as @RightBack(Query_String;“&rt=”) so that it will hold the exact field value.
For checking whether, we are getting the correct value, right click on the ‘Test’ form & select Properties, highlight the Address:(URL) completely. Now the Query String ‘rt’ will be having the value of the ReqType field.
Hope this will provide enough idea on using the Query String.
Cheers,
