Re: [Dynapi-Help] html links inside loadpanel documents

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

code to get param from URL..
.. be sure to escape() you param string if you are using any special chars
or spaces, ect.
ie:
someLayer.setHTML ( 'someWebPage.html?layer=' + escape('someLayer') ) ;
(don't need it in above example of course.. :-)   )

var mystring;
if (location.search.length > 0)  mystring = location.search.substring(1);
if(mystring.length > 0)
{
     //in the following, the 6 represents the lenght of your param name +
the '='
     //so if you param is layer (....htm?layer=) then you start counting at
6
     mystring = mystring.substring(6, mystring.length - 1);
     mystring = unescape(mystring);
}
