JavaScript 'GET'

[T0PS3O]

I'm creating an eBay listing template and want an 'ask a question' link in there. This link requires the item id (iid) and it would defeat the purpose of a template if its inserted manually.

So... Can JavaScript sniff out the listing ID from the URL, or from the HTML above the snippet?

I only ever used PHP with $_GET['variable'] - does JavaScript have a similar structure available?

You might want to check this out.

Provides a nice method for accessing the query string of a page, or of one that you pass to it. It splits the query string up into name/value pairs for you.

Thanks!

Though I only just now realized how the eBay URL looks like:

.co.uk/item_name_listing_title_here_W0QQitemZ9589355026QQcategoryZ45107QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

Without a ?key=value&key2=value2 it's probably not going to be easy... I'll check out the link though, thanks a lot.
