if you are trying to grab the url from the script tag, you could make it the first script tag on your page and do something like this:

		&lt;script src="myscript.js?url=http://lol.com" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
		&lt;script charset="utf-8"&gt;
			var script = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
			var url = script.src.substring(script.src.indexOf("?url=")+5script.sscript.src.length);
			alert(url);
		&lt;/script&gt;

That should grab it...or you could set your script to have an ID and get it that way. In that case, you would just give your script tag an ID and then grab it with

var script = document.getElementById('theid');

Hope that helped a bit.

Or, you could simply have a page such like:

&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="/mypage.aspx?var1=a&var2=b"></script>

You could then get 'mypage.aspx' (or whatever scripting language you use) to write the javascript with a content type of text/javascript.

I'd recommend keeping the JS client-side, just declaring the vars before linking to an external js file.

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
var msg = 'It worked';
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="a.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

Then just reference the var as if it had been declared in the external JS file.

To those of you suggesting server-side solutions, have fun with the cache!

Hmm...

ASP.NET:

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache)

ASP:

Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"
Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache"
Response.Expires = -1

PHP:

header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Pragma: no-cache");

I'm not disputing it's viability. It introduces more complexity that will in the end just make things more difficult than it needs be. As a rule, I avoid messing with the cache unless there is no alternative. In this particular case it is not only bad practice, but completely needless.

    • AI is as big a scam as FTX was...run by the same 'group' of people as well.
    • Slack Business+ plan jumps to $15/month as AI features launch by Paul Hill Salesforce has announced a price increase for one of its plans, which will add a few dollars per user each month to organizations' bills. The Slack Business+ plan will see prices rise from $12.50 to $15 per user per month if you pay for a whole year up front; if you pay monthly, the bill will increase from $15 to $18. Salesforce has kept the prices of its Pro plan the same and introduced a new Enterprise+ plan with custom prices for larger organizations. The new price adjustments will take effect on August 17 if you’re planning to renew, and immediately for any new customers. So, if you are renewing before August 17, you will be able to delay this price rise for around a year. The company isn’t just pulling a fast one on customers with these price rises. It’s adding AI to all paid plans, so if you use these features, the increase somewhat justifies them. We saw a similar tactic from Google Workspace back in January. New AI features and deeper Salesforce integration Slack has outlined all the new AI features coming to its Pro, Business+, and Enterprise+ plans starting from July 17. The Pro Plan will have access to conversation and thread summaries, plus huddle notes, while Business+ will have all of those plus: AI Search, Recaps, Translations, File summaries, Workflow generation, and Summarize channels workflow step. The Enterprise+ subscription has all those AI features plus Enterprise search. Additionally, it provides enhanced security, admin controls, governance, and compliance. The company also announced that all plans, including the free plan, will get access to Salesforce Channels, which lets you use Slack and Salesforce together directly within their Customer 360 Apps. Who benefits? By embedding AI right within Slack, organizations should be able to boost efficiency more easily in their daily operations. To ensure that it keeps up with the competition, the company is investing significant resources into its research and development to deliver new innovations. Affected organizations will need to try to find effective ways to use these AI tools to make the price increase worth it, whether this is speeding up tasks to free workers up for other work or something else. The move definitely doesn’t hurt Slack because it’ll make more money whether you use these AI tools or not.
