If all you're trying to do is get query string name/value pairs you could do something like this:

function getQueryStringValue(varName) {
    var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
    var vars = query.split("&");

    for (var i = 0; i < vars.length; i++) {
        var pair = vars[i].split("=");
        if (pair[0] == varName) { return pair[1]; }
    }
}
