Fred Jounters, gaya sri,

If I understand You right, You could read out the hidden input-field 
with regular javascript, construct the new url to look like this
http://some.foo/myform.html?hiddenval=value 
and make this the refresh-url. Then, simply read out the 
window.location.search var and split it to your needs. For more than one 
var, use ...html?var1=thisisone&var2=somethin&......
Also: If the value of the var contains any special chars, use encodeUri 
and decodeUri !
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--//
if(window.location.search != "")
 alert(window.location.search);
//-->
</script>
Hope this helped,
Fred
