    Navigate to URL with parameter passed to script at startup

    Good morning....As you will see when you view the script I am fairly new to Java. All I am trying to accomplish with this script is to navigate to the static URL listed in the script, however, one of the parameters in the URL requires the "Contact_Ph one" variable which I pass to the script at runtime as a telephone number similar to the following;

    "Siebel_Query_W ith_ANI.html 813466XXXX"

    All the logic works great if I enter the phone number as a static entry in the URL or if I just assign this value to a variable within the script and reference that variable within the URL. I really need to launch the script with this varriable as the number changes each time.

    Thank you in advance....PLEA SE HELP.....

    Code:
    <html>
<head>
<script>
Contact_Phone = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
<script/>

<script type="text/javascript">
  
window.navigate("http://sdcrmweb01:80/ecommunications_enu/start.swe?SWECmd=InvokeMethod&SWEMethod=GetContact&SWEService=SND_CTI_Call&ViewName=All&Contacts&across&Organizations&BusObject=Contact&BusComp=Contact&Phone=" + Contact_Phone + "&SWERF=1&SWEBU=1","siebelcti");
</script>

</head>
</html>

      where do you get that phone number from?

      PS. this is not Java it’s JavaScript, there are some fundamental differences

          Thank you Dormilich for your response. The phone number gets automatically generated and stored in a variable when our call center receives a support call. I have an interface that automatically will launch an external program and also allowes me to call the external program and include this variable. This part works consistantly and I have viewed the variable and have never seen it not resolve to the caller-id/phone number. As I also mentioned if I manually store the phone number to a variable inside the script it navigates to the url and performs the query perfectly. I am struggling with this and as per your comment you can tell that I am not a seasoned developer.

          Any guidance you could provide would certainly be appreciated.
          Thank you...

              as far as I have understood.

              a) the phone number is correctly passed to the script
              b) the URL works
              c) the page (resp. the script) does not work

              if that’s right, I can present a solution:
              there is no window.navigate () method (ref. window). to load a new page use window.location .href = "http://www.example.org/page.html";

                  Thank you for your response......I can run the script in it's current configuration, and when I substitute the variable "Contact_Ph one" with a valid phone number "8134660923 the URL will launch IE and navigate to the correct page every time. The only issue I am hoping to resolve is the external phone number variable is not being passed to the script. I have verrified that the phone number is valid.

                      If you add an alert after Contact_Phone is set, what do you get?

                      Is
                      Code:
                      WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
                      JScript (for IE) on the client-side or is it meant to be, say, ASP server-side code?
