Comments in URL

[Ben]

Hello,

I realize that this may not be the most appropriate group for this
message, but it is the best one that I could find.

My question revolves around putting a comment into a URL. Does
anybody know if it is possible to insert a string of text into a URL
(or append one onto the end) such that it does not affect the way the
page loads? For instance, I would like to type www.google.com<here is
comment> and simply launch google. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Ben

<a href="http://www.google.com?here%20is%20comment">Google</a>

The stuff after the ? will be accessible to the host and client-side
JavaScript on the page being loaded for that matter.

http://www.Google.com?your_comment_here

Will do what (I think) you want.

Note that it will show up in the Web server logs.

Why do you want to do this?
