JQuery - GET URL Parameter value
// Given a query string "?to=email&why=because&first=John&Last=smith"
// getUrlVar("to") will return "email"
// getUrlVar("last") will return "smith"
// Slightly more concise and improved version based on http://www.jquery4u.com/snippets/url-parameters-jquery/
function getUrlVar(key){
var result = new RegExp(key + "=([^&]*)", "i").exec(window.location.search);
return result && decodeURI(result[1]) || "";
}
// To convert it to a jQuery plug-in, you could try something like this:
(function($){
$.getUrlVar = function(key){
var result = new RegExp(key + "=([^&]*)", "i").exec(window.location.search);
return result && decodeURI(result[1]) || "";
};
})(jQuery);
