Question

As a follow up to my previous question, if a user clicks to a link I sent him in an email like this

<a href="chrome-extension://obilma.../background.html?userEmail=confirmed">click here to confirm your email</a>

is there a way I can get the url parameter userEmail=confirmed in background.html?

Thanks!

You could use:

var query = window.location.toString().substring(window.location.toString().indexOf('=')+1);
alert(query);
