Question

Answer 1

I think this would let you achieve that:

var url = window.location.href;
var q = url.substr(url.indexOf('?'));
alert(q); // alerts -> ?startdate=2014-07-01&enddate=2014-07-23

Answer 2

To get your parameters use

var startdate = getUrlParam('startdate'); 

and

var enddate = getUrlParam('enddate');

To prepend the '?' just do

var startdate = "?"+getUrlParam('startdate');
