// @purpose:	Decodes the querystring of a URL
//		and fills a propertylist with
//		the name=value pairs.
//		The property list is stored in a global Array
//		called  gArgs  and can be acessed as follows:
//		value = gArgs['name'].
//		If name is not in the array 'undefined' will be
//		returned.

// Global variable
