Hmmm - I've actually now got part of it working, so I'm gonna stick with
Javascript for now.
I found that by adding a function that actually returns the value asked for
(duh!), I can get my text to contain the url parameter value. So I used
function qsVal(key) {
return qsParm[key];
}
.... and the previous function posted...
and in the body part,
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.write(qsVal('1'));
</script>
nicely in the middle of the text describing the hyperlink.
Only thing is, I can't seem to get this assigned within the <param... bit of
my embedded object.
I'm trying to use
<param name='fileName' value='javascript:qsVal(0)'>
But I can't see why it's not doing anything. Any further help much
appreciated.
Pascal.
