How to fetch part of url using jquery?

Question

I have created a dynamic div in that I use this variable and appended into one div:

vAlbum=vAlbum+"<a href='Preview.aspx' onclick=
'location.href=this.href?albumname="+result.Items[i].AlbumName+"'>"

How can I fetch albumname in Preview.aspx page with jQuery?

Answer 1

Use jQuery URL parser - https://github.com/allmarkedup/jQuery-URL-Parser

Then it becomes:

var albumname = $.url().param("albumname");
