Receives a full URL and a query string parameter and returns its value. Modified from (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/901115/how-can-i-get-query-string-values) to work with Appcelerator Titanium. Example: var idValue=getParameterByName('http://somewebsite.com/page.php?id=12345','id'); idValue holds 12345

getparameterbyname.js

function getParameterByName(target,name){
    name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
  	var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
  
  	var results=target.match(regexS);
  	if(results == null){
    	return "";
  	}else{
    	return Ti.Network.decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
   }
}
