Not with javascript. Nonsense propagates like wildfire in this field.

Christoph:
THANKS- that's what I needed. The reason I need to script this way is that two different URLs are needed based on whether $id has a value, and if $id does have a value, it populates a field on a login page, resulting in the user just having to enter their password. Otherwise, the user is directed to a different page to establish a non-member account. This is all triggered by scanning a dynamic QR on the mailing label.
There may be an easier way to do it, but this will (now!) work.
Bud :-))
