reading string queries into javascript

[Chad Nielsen]

Hi,

I'm having problems reading string variables from a query into javascript.

T = Township (a number)
TDIR = Township Direction ( a character 'N' or 'S')

This works:

   var T = [T];
   .
   .
   .
   document.write(T);


This does not work, it comes out 'undefined':

   var TDIR = [TDIR];
   .
   .
   .
   document.write(TDIR);

The problem I'm guessing is with javascript wanting quotes around the
string. Is there an escape sequence for adding quote while reading a query
variable?

Thanks a bunch,
Chad
