get querystring with jQuery

How do I get the value of a querystring into a textbox using jQuery?

Lets say the url is http://intranet/page1.php?q=hello

I would like the “hello” to be in the textbox.

Answer 1

In my programming archive I have this function:

function querystring(key) {
   var re=new RegExp('(?:\\?|&)'+key+'=(.*?)(?=&|$)','gi');
   var r=[], m;
   while ((m=re.exec(document.location.search)) != null) r.push(m[1]);
   return r;
}

You can use that to get the query string value and put in a textbox:

$('#SomeTextbox').val(querystring('q'));
