Retrieve information from URL using jQuery

Question

Suppose I have an url like:

http://localhost:1122/MyProject/MyPage.aspx?from=home&id=454.

I can retrieve the 'form' value in code behind like Request["from"]. How can I do the same using JavaScript? Can I do this using jQuery also?

Answer 1

Yes. You don't need jQuery, just pure JavaScript. See this answer.
