We can obtain the URL query string with the following Javascript function.
function GET() {
var data = [];
var param;
for(x = 0; x < arguments.length; ++x) {
param = location.href.match(new RegExp("/\?".concat(arguments[x],"=","([^\n&]*)")));
if (param == null) {
data.push("");
} else {
data.push(param[1]);
}
}
return data;
}
Try the following example.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/901115/get-query-string-values-in-javascript
function GET() {
var data = [];
var param;
for(x = 0; x < arguments.length; ++x) {
param = location.href.match(new RegExp("/\?".concat(arguments[x],"=","([^\n&]*)")));
if (param == null) {
data.push("");
} else {
data.push(param[1]);
}
}
return data;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<script type="text/javascript">
// example: http://www.example.com/index.html?name=ykyuen&age=27
alert(GET('name')); // ykyuen
alert(GET('age')); // 27
alert(GET('name', 'age')); // ykyuen,27
</script>
</body>
<html>
The code above is originated from the suggestion by Jet @ Get query string values in JavaScript. i have modified it a bit so it won’t crash if the query string was not found. Thanks Jet.
Done =)

Hey ykyuen,
After some testing several times. It will return whats in the QueryString, but it seems to be cutting off the numbers. I have about an 8 digit ID number that I’m trying to retrieve. It either returns 1, 2, 3, or 5 digits, but never the entire 8.
Any ideas why this might be occurring?
