Lua Legacy Window

This global table holds data about some things.

This is part of the legacy api which is deprecated and no longer maintained.

window.browser

Properties	Values
Editable	Yes

Contents

• browser - the name of the browser used
• location - URL of the website
• query - query parameters

Query

The query is a table with key being the param name and value its value. Some important things:

• Duplicate last overwrites others. ?cat=1&cat=2 then { cat: '2' }.
• Case sensitive. ?Cat=1&cat=2 then { Cat: '1', cat: '2' }.
• Multi = are not ignored. ?cat=1=2 then { cat: '1=2' }.
• Spaces are not encoded. ?kitty cat=makes meow then { 'kitty cat': 'makes meow' }.
• Trailing spaces are not trimmed. ? cat = 1 then { ' cat ': ' 1 ' }.
• Blank keys or values are fine. ?cat=&=cat&dog then { cat: '', '': 'cat', dog: '' }.
• Trailing ? & are ignored. ?cat& then { cat: '' } or ? then {}. But ?= then { '': '' }.
