actually, since you are using thickbox, you can just modify its source code a bit and have it always return any query string af a url passed to it:
add this line var tb_params; after this line (#8 in my source): var tb_pathToImage = "images/loadingAnimation.gif"; and add this line: tb_params = params; after this line (#185 in my source): var params = tb_parseQuery( queryString ); now you can access your managerID value in js easily as tb_params.managerID !
