Obtaining query parameters in Javascript

Publié le 4 octobre 2007

The location object suffers from poor design in Javascript. Here’s a function to retrieve the query parameters from the page (if any).

function getQuery(){
  var s = location.search;
  var params=Array();
  if (s.length > 0) {
    s = s.split('?');
    s = s[1];
    s = s.split('&');
    for (i=0; i<s.length; i++) {
      params.push(
        s[i].split('=')
      );
    }
  }
  return params;
}

Enjoy, and if you find anything to add or remove, don’t hesitate to let me know in the comments!

Once again, this entry was hard to get through the door, because of escaping less than entities... I had to edit it from the database!
