Description

This code allows you to pass information from one page to the next using querystrings and javascript only. no server side processing required.

More Info

Example:

querystring.html?x=1&y=2&y=two&z=3&z=three&z=III

qs.x = 1

qs.x[0] = 1

qs.y = 2,two

qs.y[0] = 2

qs.y[1] = two

qs.z = 3,three,III

qs.z[0] = 3

qs.z[1] = three

qs.z[2] = III

This class allows you to set variabled directly from a querystring
Access variables like this:
	qs.VarName
	qs.Varname[n]
Display Varibles:
	qs.debug()	- Writes debug info to document
	qs.debug(true)	- Returns debug info
Variables that won't work:
	debug
	variables
