function getParamFromURL(sParam, sDefault) {
var sResult = getParamValue(sDefault, “”);

try { 
    sResult = readQueryString().item(sParam);

return sResult;

}
function readQueryString()
{
var sSearch = document.location.search
var oRE = /(?:?|&)([^?&]+?)=([^?&]+)/g
var aQueryString = new Array()

sSearch = sSearch.replace(/%26/gi, "&"); 

while (oRE.exec(sSearch)) 
{ 
    aQueryString.add(RegExp.$1, RegExp.$2); 
} 

return aQueryString

}
function loadFields(){
document.forms[“accessories”][“TOTAL2”].value = getParamFromURL(“TOTAL”, “”);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload=“loadFields()”>
<form name=“accessories”>
<input type=“text” name=“TOTAL2”>
</form>
</body>
</html>[/SIZE]
It should send the entered value to the next page but it dosn’t. Any idea whats wrong?
Cheers
