I usually use this “gup” funciton found here: http://www.netlobo.com/url_query_string_javascript.html

You just add the function to your script then do something like:

var type = gup( 'type' );

This also eliminates the need for grabbing the URL with the .attr(‘href’) call.

The function itself is:

function gup( name )
{
 name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]");
 var regexS = "[\\?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)";
 var regex = new RegExp( regexS );
 var results = regex.exec( window.location.href );
 if( results == null )
  return "";
else
 return results[1];
}
