Grabbing a session ID

[BernieH]

I need to grab a session ID, which is part of a URL, and then incorporate
this URL in some HTML code. Is this possible?

For instance the browser address bar will display something such as:
http://www.someaddress.com/sessionid=123456&restofURL=abc. I need to grab
the session ID number and then use this number in some generated code.

TIA

Server-side or client-side? Which language?

This may or may not help you, but you can do this easily using the CMS template and
custom tags system provided at webcharm.ca. I use this to grab the value of any query
string variable.

<!--@qsvalue sessionid@-->

When the page containing this tag is processed, it resolves to 123456.

Please don't mention that BernieH would have to move his entire web
site to your hosting service for this advice to be of any value.

Spam. Avoid at all costs.

TIA for all replies. It has to be client-side, and using standard tools such
as HTML or JavaScript (since I don't have experience with anything else -
and only a very little of JavaScript, at that.

Something like http://1ppl.free.fr/html/article052.html, then. Hope you know
enough JS to make it suit your needs.
