    We sometimes require to get the query parameters of an URL in JavaScript, here's how we can do that.

    Code:
    // get the current URL
     var url = window.location.toString();
     //get the parameters
     url.match(/\?(.+)$/);
     var params = RegExp.$1;
     // split up the query string and store in an
     // associative array
     var params = params.split("&");
     var queryStringList = {};
     
     for(var i=0;i<params.length;i++)
     {
         var tmp = params[i].split("=");
         queryStringList[tmp[0]] = unescape(tmp[1]);
     }
     
     // print all querystring in key value pairs
     for(var i in queryStringList)
         document.write(i+" = "+queryStringList[i]+"<br/>");
    Example usage:
    HTML:
    <script language='JavaScript'>
     // get the current URL
     var url = window.location.toString();
     //get the parameters
     url.match(/\?(.+)$/);
     var params = RegExp.$1;
     // split up the query string and store in an
     // associative array
     var params = params.split("&");
     var queryStringList = {};
     
     for(var i=0;i<params.length;i++)
     {
     	var tmp = params[i].split("=");
     	queryStringList[tmp[0]] = unescape(tmp[1]);
     }
     
     // print all querystring in key value pairs
     for(var i in queryStringList)
     	document.write(i+" = "+queryStringList[i]+"<br/>");
     </script>
     
     
    Output:
    Code:
    ab = pradeep
     site = go4expert

    Nice.

    To get a specific named argument in the query you could also do it the following way:
    lazerwire.com/2011/10/javascript-get-url-query-argument.html

    Remember to url decode the value using the "unescape" method in JavaScript.
