As far as I can tell, you are discussing a server technology (ASP?)
that is off-topic for this group.

It seems to me you are expecting an object created on the server to be
available on the client by passing the object's server-side name to
the client.

You may be able to pass the object as text (say a string literal or
name/value pairs) in the URI, then create an equivalent object on the
client using script by processing the text.

But it would be a better idea to include it as an object literal in
the page itself.

I think it has been discussed before that javascript is what this ng
is about and not /javascript in the browser/, and so javascript on the
server (ASP) is quite legitimate.

I'm pretty sure he wants to pass the object between two _server side_
scripts.

Here you are first declaring an object in javascript, and then passing
a _literal_ string to the next script. There is absolutely no
correlation between the javascript object and the url, except for the
url /coincidentally/ containing the same sequence of characters that
is used to name the javascript variable.

Why aren't you just saving the object in session?

foo.asp
Session("foo") = CalIOnfo;

bar.asp

var CalIOnfo = Session("foo");

FAQ 1.2 states:

"However, the majority of questions sent to this group
relates[sic] to javascript in a web browser. If you are
experiencing issues with a particular browser, or the
host is not a browser at all, please make this
information clear."

So questions are assumed to be about javascript in a browser unless
stated otherwise. The OP's question hinted at ASP, but did not make it
clear that the entire process is on the server (if indeed it is).

Perhaps you're right, it would have helped if the OP had stated that.

The OP does not seem to draw the difference between client-side and
server-side Javascript.

To be on the safe side, like most ASP users, he could try VBscript on
server and JavaScript on the server.
