Looking for Parse Query String Function

[Dennis M. Marks]

I am looking for a javascript function that will parse a query string.
Parameters are passed in the url: url?a=3&c=5&etc
An array is returned that uses the variable name as the index.
array["a"]=3
array["c"]=5
etc.

This is not exactly what you wanted but it might be a start.

<script TYPE="text/javascript">
var hrf, qs = new String(), arr = new Array();

//--- url: test.htm?a=1234 5.6789&c=apple pie&d=52

//--- get url line
hrf = new String(document .location.href) ;

//--- remove %20 codes and replace with spaces
//--- will need to do this for other url characters
hrf = hrf.replace(/\%20/g," ");

//--- find start of querystring
qs = "&" + hrf.substr(hrf. indexOf("?")+1 );

//--- remove &a= from querystring
qs = qs.replace(/\&[A-Za-z0-9]\=/g,",");

//--- string now looks like ,12345.6789,app le pie

//--- split into an array
arr = qs.split(",");

/*
array looks like
arr[0] = ,
arr[1] = 12345.6789,
arr[2] = "apple pie",
arr[3] = 52
*/
for( var ct=0; ct< arr.length; ct++)
document.write( "arr["+ ct + "]=" + arr[ct] + "<BR>" );

document.write( "WRONG: " + (arr[1] + arr[3]) + "<BR>");
document.write( "RIGHT: " + (parseFloat(arr[1]) + parseInt(arr[3])) );
</script>
