JavaScript
function getQueryString()
{
var queryString= [];
var hash;
var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
{
hash = hashes[i].split('=');
queryString.push(hash[0]);
vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
}
return queryString;
}
jQuery
var queries = {};
$.each(document.location.search.substr(1).split('&'), function(c,q){
var i = q.split('=');
queries[i[0].toString()] = i[1].toString();
});
Purl (JavaScript URL parsing script)
$.url().param('search');
To use the Purl method you also need this nifty little script… https://github.com/allmarkedup/purl
