Preserved Topic: Can JavaScript read document's parameter?

Hello,

I usually do this: http://host/file1.php?name=lallous&flag=1
then i do: <? echo $name; echo $flag ?>
that's in PHP...
now if i have an htm file: http://host/file1.htm?name=...&flag=...
how can i do like: <script> document.write(name); document.write(flag); </script>

?

alert(location);

location.search should give you exactly what you want.
