You can parse it in a regex to get the parts as matches... I don't have the full code right now, but this can be used to get the querydata:

var myUrl = window.location.href;
var matches = myUrl.match(/([^\?]+)\?(.+)/);
var queryData = matches[2];

matches[0] is the full string, matches(1) is the first part of the URL (up to the ?)... you could build up a regular expression to parse each part of a string url if you want...

You can also use one of the many libraries already out there for this.
