Query parameter using JS framework ?

Question

Hi,

I seem to not be able to find implementation from the common Ajax libraries (JQuery, mootools, prototypejs...) that would allow the operation of parsing the window.location.href for request parameter. I would expect something like:

$P{"param1"} == "param1_value"

Am I missing something?

p.s. The web does contains implementation examples for such operations

You don't really to use a library; a pure javascript function like the one in the link you include should be more than enough.

Here are some options for jQuery: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/901115/get-querystring-with-jquery

It's really easy in vanilla javascript

var Query = (function(){
    var query = {}, pair, search = location.search.substring(1).split("&"), i = search.length;
    while (i--) {
        pair = search[i].split("=");
        query[pair[0]] = decodeURIComponent(pair[1]);
    }
    return query;
}());


alert(Query["foo"]);
