Extract querystring parameters from the current URL, and apply the contents to tagged elements on your page.
Use querystring data in your FORM data, to collect it for submissions ( e.g. utm_ params )
Pass querystring data through to other links on the page, so it will get carried through
Use querystring data in visible fields, e.g. to personalize a page from an Email newsletter link click ( “Hey Mary!” )

wfu-bind = ( data source ) Required. Place on any element where you want data binded from a source.

Configure everything using simple custom attributes.
This tool will carry any URL querystring params into your webpage, and apply them as follows;
On any INPUT elements with a custom attribute of wfu-bind=X, WFU will replace the value attribute with the value of the querystring param X.
This works with type=hidden INPUT elements as well, so the data can be passed through invisibly.
The querystring param you use in wfu-bind is case-sensitive. ?name and ?Name are different.
Checkbox elements will be set to the boolean truthy value.
Select elements will be set to the matching select value.
On any other elements with a custom attribute of wfu-bind=X, WFU will replace the inner text of the element with the value of the querystring param X.
First, add the library as detailed in .
