Javascript / jquery - like PHPs $_GET

Question

I have a variable set in my url:

http://mydomain.com?myvar=1

Now I need to check this when the page loads. I would normally do this in PHP but I need to use some jQuery. What I want to do is something like:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var somevar = $GET['myvar'];
    if (somevar = '1') {
        $('#someDiv').hide();
    }
});

How can I do this if its at all posible?

Here's a function that will do that:

function getUrlVars() {
    var vars = {};
    var parts = window.location.href.replace(/[?&]+([^=&]+)=([^&]*)/gi, function(m,key,value) {
        vars[key] = value;
    });
    return vars;
}
