Getting a Parameter on The URL

It's common to use URL parameters to show dynamic information, just like here on StackOverflow:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1183842

But would that be possible when you're without any language like PHP or others? Is there any way to get that value using JavaScript and capture it inside a variable to present it like this:

<h1>param_variable</h1>

In JavaScript you can get the current page's url like this:

   var url = location.href;

You may then need to parse it your self to find the parameter that you are looking for.

window.location.href contains the current URL. With some string manipulations you can grab anything you want from it.

In this case:

var url = window.location.href;
var id = url.split('/')[4];
alert(id);

Will alert
