Capture query string in cookie and append to URL

[andrewg 1976]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if this is possible and if yes the code I could use to do it?

Say a visitor comes to my website using the following URL: [mywebsite.com...]

I want to capture the query string "cid=1234" and store it in a session cookie, then when the visitor clicks on a link on my page (index.html) to an external site, ie. to [externalsite.com...] I want to append the query string stored in the cookie to the URL, so it will become [externalsite.com...]

Thanks,
Andrew

To obtain the query string use the following:

qstring=document.location.href.split('?')[1];

eg... if [sitename.com...]

qstring will be "for=1&top=7"

Dont use cookies so don't know how to store into cookies in JS and I'm sure you know how to add to a link.

Hi,

alternatively use location.search.substring(1)
to capture the querystring.

Thanks!

location.search.substring(1) does the trick!
