Dynamic Background Color

Hi, what I would like to do with html / javascript is the following:

The url is something like: htmlfile.htm?color=blue

I want to grab the parameter "color=blue" and assign it to the
background color.

My problem is I don't know how to get the parameter via html /
javascript.

In ASP it's <%Request("color")%> but after searching with Google I
haven't come up with anything for html / javascript.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean

Please don't give the impression that proper quoting in Mail is any less
desirable than in News.

But it is, John, as you could(!) have an understanding with the other party
not to quote in a one-to-one email sequence.

On usenet you would need to have that understanding with all end even
future NG-readers, which is impossible.
