Javascript: read from URL

I use the following to read variables from a URL:

$.urlParam = function(name){
    var results = new RegExp('[\\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href);
    return results[1] || 0;
}

The URLs in question are set like this:

<a href="View?wl_id=' + i.event_id + '&title=' + encodeURIComponent(i.event_title) + '">

I have an example URL which is:

...&title=New%20clothes!

To see it I alert(decodeURIComponent($.urlParam('title'))); which shows New Clothes! - perfect

I have another example which is:

...&title=Favorite%20Fragrances

This when alerted shows F - that's it

Another example: 

...&title=private%20testing

When alerted produces 0

Any ideas why they don't all produce what they should?

&amp; is not correct. Use & instead.
