Javascript: Get URL Variables

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008
<script type="text/javascript">
// Read a page's GET URL variables and return them as an associative array.
function getUrlVars() {
  var vars = [], hash;
  var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
  for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++) {
    hash = hashes[i].split('=');
    vars.push(hash[0]);
    vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
  }
  return vars;
}
// Example for URL http://www.example.com/index.html?hello=bonjour&goodevening=bonsoir
var hash = getUrlVars();
// alert(hash['hello']); // prints 'bonjour'
// alert(hash['goodevening']); // prints 'bonsoir'
</script>
