Get parameter values from href in jquery

Question

Script

Answer 1

Try this :

function getUrlParams(url) {
    var params = {};
    url.substring(1).replace(/[?&]+([^=&]+)=([^&]*)/gi,
            function (str, key, value) {
                 params[key] = value;
            });
    return params;
}

Usage:

function pop(e) {
     var url = $(e.target).attr("href");
     var params = getUrlParams(url); 

     var cat= params["cat"];
     var type= params["typ"];

     alert(cat);
     alert(type);    
}

You can do as soeme thing as below

    var url = ($(this).attr('href'));
    var cat = getURLParameter(url, 'cat');
    var typ = getURLParameter(url, 'typ');
    //calling the ajax function
    pop(cat, typ)
});


function getURLParameter(url, name) {
    return (RegExp(name + '=' + '(.+?)(&|$)').exec(url)||[,null])[1];
}

function pop(cat, typ) {

    $.ajax({
       type:'post',
       url:site_url()+'/event/deleteEventSingle',
       data:{'cat':cat,'type':typ},
        async:false,
         success:function(result){}
