function getUrlParam(param)
{
  param = param.replace(/([\[\](){}*?+^$.\\|])/g, "\\$1");
  var regex = new RegExp("[?&]" + param + "=([^&#]*)");
  var url   = decodeURIComponent(window.location.href);
  var match = regex.exec(url);
  return match ? match[1] : "";
}
var param = getUrlParam("process_number");
alert(param);

and here is my link:

Since you're in a frame, if you need to get the href from the main window, do this:

var href = window.top.location.href;

Then process it.

That code has to run from the page whose URL you're mining for parameter values. In other words, it operates only on the current URL of the page it's on. It works fine.

If you want a function that gives you parameter values given an arbitrary URL, you'd just need to add an additional parameter:

function getUrlParam(param, url) {
  param = param.replace(/([\[\](){}*?+^$.\\|])/g, "\\$1");
  var regex = new RegExp("[?&]" + param + "=([^&#]*)");
  url   = url || decodeURIComponent(window.location.href);
  var match = regex.exec(url);
  return match ? match[1] : "";
}

alert(getUrlParam("process_number", "http://erp.micae.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=objects.popup_print_files&process_number=SER-498&action_type=141&action_id=289&action_row_id=32&print_type=192"));
