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

Try this working demo http://jsfiddle.net/xy7cX/

API:

• inArray : http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.inArray/

This should help :)

code

var url = "http://myurl.com?sent=yes"

var pieces = url.split("?");
alert(pieces[1] + " ===== " + $.inArray("sent=yes", pieces));
