How to get URL parameter using jQuery or plain JavaScript?

Question

I have seen lots of jQuery examples where parameter size and name are unknown.

My URL is only going to ever have 1 string:

http://example.com?sent=ye         


        

Answer 1

function GetRequestParam(param)
{
	var res = null;
	try{
		var qs = decodeURIComponent(window.location.search.substring(1));//get everything after then '?' in URI
		var ar = qs.split('&');
		$.each(ar, function(a, b){
			var kv = b.split('=');
			if(param === kv[0]){
				res = kv[1];
				return false;//break loop
			}
		});
	}catch(e){}
	return res;
}
