How to get URL parameter using jQuery or plain JavaScript?

Question

I have seen lots of jQuery examples where parameter size and name are unknown.

My URL is only going to ever have 1 string:

http://example.com?sent=ye         


        

Answer 1

I use this and it works. http://codesheet.org/codesheet/NF246Tzs

function getUrlVars() {
    var vars = {};
    var parts = window.location.href.replace(/[?&]+([^=&]+)=([^&]*)/gi, function(m,key,value) {
    vars[key] = value;
    });
return vars;
}


var first = getUrlVars()["id"];
