jQuery handling of URL params?

[Audrey A Lee]

Hello,

Rails has a hash named "params" which contains information from my
current URL.

Does jQuery have something like params?

What is the jQuery-way of getting data out of the current URL?

not the jQuery way but terse and effective:

function gup( name )
{
name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]");
var regexS = "[\\?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)";
var regex = new RegExp( regexS );
var results = regex.exec( window.location.href );
if( results == null )
return "";
else
return results[1];
}

// http://www.foo.com/index.html?bob=123&frank=321&tom=213#top
// var frank_param = gup( 'frank' );
