Querystrings in HTML/javascript

[James Brown]

Hi

I am passing a querystring to a html page as I would to say an asp page, so

[url]http://www.mysite.com/mypage.html?thepopup=page2.html[/url]

I want to use the querystring to open up a particular pop up window
(page2.html in the case above) but I don't know how to 'capure' the
querystring on the page in javascript (the pop-up code is no problem)

//psuedo pop up code

varpopup = Querystring("thepopup")

document.window.open = Querystring


Thanks for any help
