Dynamic Background Color

[bennett.sean]

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

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.
