How to pass a parameter to a javascript through a url and display it on a page?
Shouldn't be too difficult to write your own without the need for an external library.
// www.mysite.com/my_app.html?Use_Id=abc
var GET = {};
var query = window.location.search.substring(1).split("&");
for (var i = 0, max = query.length; i < max; i++)
{
if (query[i] === "") // check for trailing & with no param
continue;
var param = query[i].split("=");
GET[decodeURIComponent(param[0])] = decodeURIComponent(param[1] || "");
}
Usage: GET.Use_id
or GET["Use_id"]
. You can also check if a parameter is present even if it has a null value using "Use_id" in GET
(will return true or false).
Call the page www.mysite.com/my_app.html?Use_Id=abc
Then in that page use a javascript function like:
var urlParam = function(name, w){
w = w || window;
var rx = new RegExp('[\&|\?]'+name+'=([^\&\#]+)'),
val = w.location.search.match(rx);
return !val ? '':val[1];
}
To use it:
var useId = urlParam('Use_Id');
The second parameter w
is optional, but useful if you want to read parameters on iframes or parent windows.
