Answer 1

I use this function to read params from url in JavaScript:

function getParam( sParamName ){
  sLocation = location.href;
  aLCQS = sLocation.split("?");
  if (aLCQS.length > 1){ // there are a querystring
    aParams = aLCQS[1].split("&");
    for( f=0; f<aParams.length; f++ ){
      aParam = aParams[f].split("=");
      if( aParam[0] == sParamName ){
        return aParam[1]; // return the value
      }
    }
  }
}

how to use:

video=getParam("video");
time=getParam("time");
// do what you want..
