Get escaped URL parameter

Question

I\'m looking for a jQuery plugin that can get URL parameters, and support this search string without outputting the JavaScript error: \"malformed URI sequence\". If there is

Answer 1

Based on the 999's answer:

function getURLParameter(name) {
    return decodeURIComponent(
        (location.search.match(RegExp("[?|&]"+name+'=(.+?)(&|$)'))||[,null])[1]
    );  
}

Changes:

• decodeURI() is replaced with decodeURIComponent()
• [?|&] is added at the beginning of the regexp
