Populate URL parameter into h:inputText

Question

I am using the following code to retrieve URL params into a JavaScript variable.

function getUrlParams() {
  var params = {};
  window.location.search.replace(/[?&]+([^=&]+)=([^&]*)/gi, function(str,key,value) {
    params[key] = value;
  });
  return params;
}
var vName = getUrlParams()["vName"];

I have to set vName into h:inputText.

document.getElementById("Forid:Fldid").value = vName; // didn't work

I am working on Facelets.

Thanks for your response. My concern is, I am unable to set the variable into the textfield (h:inputtext). — p_anantha, Oct 10 '12 at 17:14
What is id of your element to which you want to set this value? — Anoop, Oct 10 '12 at 17:16
document.getElementById("Forid:Fldid").value= vName. formid:inputtextid. It is the inputtextid. A similar program using html and javascript is working fine. But we have xhtml — p_anantha, Oct 10 '12 at 17:19

Don't do it the hard way. Use <f:viewParam>.

<f:metadata>
    <f:viewParam name="vName" value="#{bean.vName}" />
</f:metadata>
...
<h:form>
    <h:inputText value="#{bean.vName}" />
    ...
</h:form>

with

@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class Bean {

    private String vName;

    // Getter+setter.
}

That's all.
