I was thinking of something a little fancier ;-)
jQuery.query = function() {
var r = {};
var q = location.search;
q = q.replace(/^\?/,''); // remove the leading ?
q = q.replace(/\&$/,''); // remove the trailing &
jQuery.each(q.split('&'), function(){
var key = this.split('=')[0];
var val = this.split('=')[1];
// convert floats
if(/^[0-9.]+$/.test(val))
val = parseFloat(val);
// ingnore empty values
if(val)
r[key] = val;
});
return r;
};
Then you could use it like so:
http://www.bork.com?foo=helloworld&bar=0.333&;
$.query()['foo']; // helloworld (string)
$.query()['bar']; // 0.333 (number)
