Yes, you can do this, but it's a ripe target for a Cross-Site Scripting attack, which is a serious and widespread security problem.

If you're going to be a web programmer you must study security resources, for instance:

• Open Web Application Security Project
• SANS report on the top 25 most dangerous programming errors
