Just a solution that I hope will help others in passing in query strings into forms in Sitefinity.
In this example a user clicks on a button to enquire about a particular product - The product code is passed via query string into a form.
Form field remains locked if a value is successfully passed and unlocked/empty if no query string is picked up.

Feel free to add any recommendations/modifications to this:

// This method retrieves the querystring value. If the querystring is missing it returns null. I’m not the author of the method :)

function getQuerystring(key, default_)

if (default_==null) default_="";

key = key.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]");

var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]"+key+"=([^&#]*)");

var cleanedString = regex.exec(window.location.href);

if(cleanedString == null)

return 'null'

else

return cleanedString [1];

//Note: I targeted the input box with a wrapped CSS class called '.productCodeWrap'. You can target this any way you wish!

$(document).ready(function()

$(".productCodeWrap input.sfTxt").val();

var value = unescape(getQuerystring('pid',''));

if(value != 'null' && value != '')

$(".productCodeWrap input.sfTxt").val(value);

$(".productCodeWrap input.sfTxt").attr('readonly','true');

$(".p

);roductCodeWrap input.sfTxt").addClass("lockedField");

Hope it helps someone! :)
