Can someone help with passing url variables to a button link in HTMl?

I have a page with a list of Milestones. I have a Add Milestone button on the page with this code:

<button onclick="OpenPopUpPage ('/Team/Lists/CG_Milestone/NewForm.aspx?EffortID=', RefreshPage); return false;" type="submit" runat="server" id="Button1">Add Milestone</button>

The url of this Milestone page contains a parameter identified as "EffortID". I don't know how to update the url in my code to pull the EffortID from the url. Can someone help with that?

I fail to grasp the intent of your Code it looks like a JavaScript problem to me in HTML section. You want to update the EFFORTID. Number every time someone clicks on the button? Or am i wrong?

I didn't know if I should put this in the JavaScript section, but yes, you're correct. I want to update the EffortID parameter in the url when someone clicks the button.

This is a problem for the JavaScript section. Anyhow, I think you should pass it a variable where you store the value of EffortID, but I don't know what the rest of the code looks like, so I may be wrong.
