Get URL parameter with jQuery

I got this url in my browser

http://docs.google.com?k=account&cs=This%20Site&u=https%3A%2F%2Faccess.dev.google.com

I need to check if u paramter is having http or https://access.dev.google.com then perform some action.

You can use the function mentioned here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1403888/get-url-parameter-with-jquery — Joe M, Aug 02 '12 at 05:45
Could be find with: `myhref.replace('%3A%2F%2F', '://').match(/u=(.*)$/g, '$1');` — Alex Ball, Aug 02 '12 at 05:51

Could be:

var hr = 'http://docs.google.com?k=account&cs=This%20Site&u=http%3A%2F%2Faccess.dev.google.com'; //window.location.href;

var res = hr.match(/u=(http|https)%3A%2F%2Faccess.dev.google.com/g);
if(res != null) alert('ok');
else alert('not found');

Take a look to jensgram comment. /u= should be: [?&]u=

Consider prefixing the regex with `[?&]`, i.e., `/[?&]u=` in order to only match the `u` parameter, not `u`. – jensgram Aug 02 '12 at 06:11

Here's a lovely non-regex version.

var path = window.location.pathname;
//assuming you want the path for http://docs.google.com?k=account&cs=This%20Site&u=https%3A%2F%2Faccess.dev.google.com


if(path.substring(path.indexOf('u=')+2, path.indexOf('u=')+7) == 'https') {
    //execute if https, or change to +2, +6 for http
}

I don't know if that's what you're looking for exactly, but it was worth a shot.
