How to set Query value in WAD w. parameters

Question

Hi
Is it possible to set the queryname in the dataprovider using javascript.
My scenario is that I want to fetch the queryname from the URL with the following javascript
I have the script:
function GetPara( name )
     name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"
\[").replace(/[\]]/,"
     var regexS = "[
?&]"name"=([^&#]*)"; 
     var regex = new RegExp( regexS ); 
     var results = regex.exec( window.location.href ); 
     if( results == null )   
          return ""; 
     else   
          return results[1];
And then I want to implement something like the following in the template
//First dataprovider (TAB_A_DP) initialization
<bi:QUERY_VIEW_DATA_PROVIDER name="TAB_A_DP" >
                <bi:INITIAL_STATE type="CHOICE" value="QUERY" >
                    <bi:QUERY value="SCRIPT_FUNCTION">
                           <bi:SCRIPT_FUNCTION value="GetPara('TAB1')" />
                    </bi:QUERY>
                </bi:INITIAL_STATE>
            </bi:QUERY_VIEW_DATA_PROVIDER>
//SEcond dataprovider (TAB_B_DP) initialization
<bi:QUERY_VIEW_DATA_PROVIDER name="TAB_B_DP" >
                <bi:INITIAL_STATE type="CHOICE" value="QUERY" >
                    <bi:QUERY value="SCRIPT_FUNCTION">
                           <bi:SCRIPT_FUNCTION value="GetPara('TAB2')" />
                    </bi:QUERY>
                </bi:INITIAL_STATE>
            </bi:QUERY_VIEW_DATA_PROVIDER>

Hi Leo
Sorry I haven't explained my goal very well.
I want to create a dynamic webtemplate w. two tabs. One tab showing data from one dataprovider and the other tab showing data from another dataprovider.
My problem is that it's easy enough to set the dataprovider to a specific query but as I have several reports which should use this template then instead of coping the template and change the query name I want a generic way to set the queryname  (e.g. in the url) so I only have one template and not a template per report pair.
In short I want to set the Initial State dynamic.
                            <bi:QUERY_VIEW_DATA_PROVIDER name="TAB_A_DP" >
                                <bi:INITIAL_STATE type="CHOICE" value="QUERY" >
                                    <bi:QUERY value="dynamic" text="dynamic" />
                                </bi:INITIAL_STATE>
                            </bi:QUERY_VIEW_DATA_PROVIDER>
When I only have one dp I can leave it empty and set the query by typing ?query=<queryname> but what if I have several dataproviders with different queries?
