Re: Access to arguments

We have extensions functions for that:

    http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xforms-xpath-functions#TOC-HTTP-request-functions

For your use case we have:

    xxf:get-request-parameter()

That sounds a bit server-side as an API name though.

BTW browsers have Window.location and Document.location which return
Location objects, but there doesn't seem to be anything to parse the
query string:
