   We have a portal form which is accessed only via an externally prepared url, which defines a number of specific guid values; these values are submitted with the form to create an appropriate record in CRM.
   I wish to add another parameter (bit value) to the url which will not be included in the data submitted back to CRM.  The value will be used solely to determine the visibility of certain data entry field controls on the form.  Controlling the fields is easy enough, but I cannot get my logic/form to 'read' the bit value from the url.  I have attempted to replicate the handling of the other url parameters with no success.
   Is this possible? How?

   Hello Chris,
   
   I have attached some JavaScript similar to what we have used in the past to read the query string. Also included is an example of how to split logic, hide fields or disable fields using our API:
   
   

   var queryString;
   (window.onpopstate = function () {
       var match,
           pl     = /\+/g,  // Regex for replacing addition symbol with a space
           search = /([^&=]+)=?([^&]*)/g,
           decode = function (s) { return decodeURIComponent(s.replace(pl, " ")); },
           query  = window.location.search.substring(1);
   
       queryString = {};
       while (match = search.exec(query))
          queryString[decode(match[1])] = decode(match[2]);
   })();
   $(document).ready(function(){
     var show = queryString["bitValue"] == "true";
     if(show) {
       $(".CrmTextField_C004").hide();
       $(".CrmTextField_C005").hide();
       $(".CrmTextField_C006").hide();  
     }
     else {
       $(".CrmTextField_C001").hide();
       $(".CrmTextField_C002").hide();
       $(".CrmTextField_C003").hide();
       // if you want the field not to be submitted to CRM:
       findControl(".CrmTextField_C001").disable();
     }
   });
   

   
   Please let me know if you have any questions.
   
   Regards,
