Thread: server to browser transference

As you've seen this isn't the way to go about it. How is the request parameter "names" formatted? Based on your code it sounds like it would be something like

names=Bob&names=Sue&names=Barf

is this correct? That's kind of a weird URL but it can be dealt with entirely in JavaScript:

var arrayJS=new array();
var searchString = document.location.search;
 
// strip off the leading '?'
searchString = searchString.substring(1);
 
var nvPairs = searchString.split("&");
 
for (i = 0; i < nvPairs.length; i++) {
    var nvPair = nvPairs[i].split("=");
 
    if( nvPair[0] === 'names' ) {
        arrayJS.push( nvPair[1] );
    }
}

This code was derived from here.
