In my programming archive I have this function:
function querystring(key) {
var re=new RegExp('(?:\\?|&)'+key+'=(.*?)(?=&|$)','gi');
var r=[], m;
while ((m=re.exec(document.location.search)) != null) r.push(m[1]);
return r;
}
You can use that to get the query string value and put in a textbox:
$('#SomeTextbox').val(querystring('q'));
