The first page

<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
<a href='2.htm?Something=This is another method'>Click here</A>
</body>

var start=location.search.indexOf("?"+name+"=");
if (start<0) start=location.search.indexOf("&"+name+"=");
if (start<0) return '';
start += name.length+2;
var end=location.search.indexOf("&",start)-1;
if (end<0) end=location.search.length;
var result=location.search.substring(start,end);
var result='';
for(var i=start;i<=end;i++) {
var c=location.search.charAt(i);
result=result+(c=='+'?' ':c);
}
