Any discussion I see of <form method=get> vs. <form method=post> assumes the POSTed data will go to a cgi-perl script. I want to read that data in javascript, but can't figure out the js equivalent of a perl's "READ stdin" to get to the data. Any help appreciated

burro = donkey. burrow = hole in the ground. some people don't know the difference.

I'm going to assume you've appended the data to a URL which also brings the user to a new page.

The URL of this new page is accessed by the read-only property document.url Seems to me you can assign this to a string variable and read the data with the appropriate String and/or RegExp objects.
