Hey guys I am working on a simple way of having a blog, I am no good at XML and cannot find much helpfull stuff on the internet so I have gone for an easier way (for me) However I have gotten in a RUT…

I am using this example which I have managed to get it to work…  
[http://www.jibbering.com/2002/4/httprequest.html](http://www.jibbering.com/2002/4/httprequest.html%20)  
[URL=“[http://www.jibbering.com/2002/4/httprequest.html%20](http://www.jibbering.com/2002/4/httprequest.html%20)”]

The only thing I am trying to change is, instead of it loading in the same page, I want it to open on a dispay page (ie.blogpost.html)

Here is my attempt:  
[www.capturedpixel.com/testarea/test.html](http://www.capturedpixel.com/testarea/test.html) (Blog links 1,2,3, for test)  
[www.capturedpixel.com/testarea/blog.asp](http://www.capturedpixel.com/testarea/blog.asp) (Display page)

the way it should work…  
Click a link on the test.html page and it will send a querystring via URL, then it picks it up in the Blog.asp page which has a javascript function to load it with the QueryString var which loads perfectly, however I cannot for the life of me make the alert work again, please help?
