Or this?


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function queryString(str) {
var q = window.location.search;
var foundValue = "";
if(q.length > 1) {
this.q = q.substring(1,q.length);
this.keyValuePairs = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < this.q.split("&").length; i++) {
this.keyValuePairs[i] = this.q.split("&")[i];
if(this.keyValuePairs[i].split("=")[0] == str) {
foundValue = unescape(this.keyValuePairs[i].split("=")[1]);
}
}
}
return foundValue;
}
//-->
</script>


They all do the same thing pretty much (although this one probably isn't quite as efficient and may take a couple more milliseconds), give or take a couple of lines of code...
