Question

I am storing a string (url) in a variable
it can look like one/two/three/test.aspx?ID=12312
I want to extract the querystring value, not from window.location but from the html

I thought I could use substring and write

var link = ($(this).find('a').attr('href')); 
var qs = link.substring( link.indexOf("="),  text.indexOf(" ") )

but it returns the string before the = and not after.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Just omit the second parameter. In this case, should return the end of the string starting at the provided index.
