I found this script below but I can not get it to work. Any ideas?
<head>
<!-- Begin
function readID() {
var expDays = 365; // number of days the cookie should last
var expDate = new Date();
expDate.setTime(expDate.getTime() + (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 * expDays));
var id = GetCookie('id');
if (id == null ¦¦ id == "no id") {
if (location.search.length > 1) id = location.search.substring(1, location.search.length);
else id = "no id";
if (id!= GetCookie('id')) SetCookie('id', id, expDate);
}
// You can change the FORM location below
// where the referral ID is stored on your page
// You then access this element to get the ID
document.idform.id.value = id;
}
function getCookieVal (offset) {
var endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (";", offset);
if (endstr == -1)
endstr = document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, endstr));
}
function GetCookie (name) {
var arg = name + "=";
var alen = arg.length;
var clen = document.cookie.length;
var i = 0;
while (i < clen) {
var j = i + alen;
if (document.cookie.substring(i, j) == arg)
return getCookieVal (j);
i = document.cookie.indexOf(" ", i) + 1;
if (i == 0) break;
}
return null;
}
function SetCookie (name, value) {
var argv = SetCookie.arguments;
var argc = SetCookie.arguments.length;
var expires = (argc > 2)? argv[2] : null;
var path = (argc > 3)? argv[3] : null;
var domain = (argc > 4)? argv[4] : null;
var secure = (argc > 5)? argv[5] : false;
document.cookie = name + "=" + escape (value) +
((expires == null)? "" : ("; expires=" + expires.toGMTString())) +
((path == null)? "" : ("; path=" + path)) +
((domain == null)? "" : ("; domain=" + domain)) +
((secure == true)? "; secure" : "");
}

Thank you for any comments or ideas. I have been at this for some time and can not get it to work.

Note a couple things in my solution:
I've moved the JS below the form. Web pages load from top to bottom; if the form isn't loaded first, you get null or not an object when you try to reference it.
Yes, this can be worked around with body onLoad, but there's a good possibility this can die with a poorly-written popup blocker, so if there's another way, I'll use it. :-D

var id = getIdFromQstring();

Thank you for the help.
Get a pint on me!
