Passed a value in between html pages in url won't work for switch statement.

Frakes

I'm using a hyperlink to pass a value from a home page to a search page. I'm using to values to identify and display only certain input/select boxs that relate to whatever unique search the user wants to use. I've gotten the value from "TYPE=VALUE" to display in my search page but now I'm wondering if it will work for my switch statement since none of my document.write statements are working.

Home Page links:

Any help would be much appreciated.

Implementing switch is possible. If you are using document.write it should be used during the page load. I tuned your code for local file and made some changes in the script. It seems working. Please have a look over your code and find where you can change.

Thanks and Regards
