Get Text from the Address bar!!

Nov 19.2003

I searched the web for quite some time and i found no information about how to retrive the text or value from the address bar (ie)
I don’t want the normal location.href stuff, be cause that just gives you the location of the current webpage, i really need a way to get the text the user entered into the address bar, is that possible at all?

thanks in advance!!
