Define URL parameters

URL parameters store retrieved information input by users. Before you begin, make sure you pass a form or URL parameter to the server. After you define the URL variable, you can use its value in the currently selected page.

  1. In the Document window, open the page that will use the variable.
  2. Select Windows > Bindings to display the Bindings panel.
  3. In the Bindings panel, click the Plus (+) button and select one of the following from the pop‑up menu:

    Document Types

    Menu item in Bindings panel for URL variable

    ASP

    Request Variable > Request.QueryString

    ColdFusion

    URL Variable

    JSP

    Request Variable

    PHP

    URL Variable
  4. In the URL Variable dialog box, enter the name of the URL variable in the box, and click OK.

    The URL variable name is normally the name of the HTML form field or object used to obtain its value.

  5. The URL variable appears in the Bindings panel.
