To parse the query string through JS, you can view use something like

function getQueryValue(param) {
        var queryStringArray = querystring && querystring.substring(1).split("&");
        for (var i=0, length = queryStringArray.length; i < length; i++) {
             var token = queryStringArray[i],
                 firstPart = token && token.substring(0, token.indexOf("="));
             if (firstPart === param ) {
                 return token.substring(token.indexOf("=") + 1, token.length);
            }
        }
 }

E.g. Given a URL "http://domain.com.au?aaa=bbb , you can call this fn as getQeuryValue("aaa") and you'll get "bbb"

I uploaded this code on Gist (bit modified to be compliant with a module pattern).
