Getting a value from an URL parameter

Question

I have an URL with some parameters.

What is the easiest way to get the url parameter value giving only the end of the parameter string ?

Ex: http://my.domain.com/home?this_is_a_param=5

So, giving to the function :

function returnValueFromURL(url,"param"){
// What I need ...
// return 5;
}

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions. But I'm looking for the "this_is_a_param" value with the end of that string (ex : "a_param"). How can I do it? — senderos, Jan 03 '12 at 22:11
@JohnJohnGa because the URL parameters I get are auto generated and may vary. The only part that doesn't vary is the suffix. — senderos, Jan 03 '12 at 22:15

I think i understand what you need:

1- get the query string (document.location.search)

2- split this string by '&', and '='

3- iterate over the array (split result) and just check if the string endsWith 'a_param'

4- then use the function describe here: Parse query string in JavaScript to get the value
