What JavaScript library should I use for parsing URL parameters?

Question

How do I parse URL parameters in JavaScript? (These are the parameters I would ordinarily call GET parameters or CGI parameters, but in this case the page is basically subm

The best way I have found is to simply do it yourself and funnel the params into a global key/value object.

Getting quer params is simple...

just take a couple of .split()'s

var myquery = thewholeurl.split("?")[1]; //will get the whole querystring with the ?

then you can do a

myparams = myquery.split("&")

then you can do

for each param in myparams
{
temp = param.split("=");

mykeys.push(temp[0]);
myvalues.push(temp[1]);

OR

myObject[temp[0]] = temp[1];
}

It's just a matter of style.

This is not perfect code, just psuedo stuff to give you the idea.
