killtheheart player
I haven’t been able to check it with any of the [...]

At work I always get confused on good practice of using joins… here is an example of a practical join.
<cfquery name=“getConcernDetails” datasource=“#someDSN#”>
SELECT
C.concernID, C.ClientID, C.DateCreated,
C.Status, C.ClientEmail, C.isConcern,
C.ownerID, C.ownerGroupID,
a.userID, a.username, s.label
FROM
unmc_Concerns C JOIN WLTAdminusers a ON c.ownerID = a.userid
JOIN WLTsecurity s ON C.ownerGroupID = s.secid
WHERE
C.ConcernID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype=“cf_sql_integer” value=“#url.var_details#” />
ORDER BY
C.ConcernID
</cfquery>

This function does an alert on what you request… it’s a great little function picked it up from
activsoftware.com

function getQueryVariable(variable) {
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var vars = query.split(“&”);
for (var i=0;i<vars.length;i++) {
var pair = vars[i].split(“=”);
if (pair[0] == variable) {
return pair[1];
}
}
alert(’Query Variable ‘ + variable + ‘ not found’);
}
Call a page, page.html?x=test
alert( getQueryVariable(“x”) );
