Answer 1

Your code fails because the Function declaration is wrong:

You do:

function getdetails( {dosomething} )

But the correct way of declaring a function is:

function getdetails() {dosomething}

BUT, More potential errors:

Your code tries to extract the ID value when it is the first QueryString parameter in the URL

So it fails:

• When ID is not immediatly after the ? QueryString identifier

• When there is no ID in the QueryString

SharePoint provides you at least 4 ways of getting a QueryString value:

What does this code getQueryStringParameter do?

Answer 2

var result; $( document ).ready(function() { getdetails(); var qString = result; });

function getdetails() { result = window.location.href.split("?ID=")[1]; return result; }

Answer 3

Please try below mentioned code.

var result;
$( document ).ready(function() { 
     getdetails();
     var qString = result;
});

function getdetails() 
{
   result = window.location.href.split("?ID=")[1];
}

Please check the getdetails function.Code is inside ()

 function getdetails(){ var result = window.location.href.split("?ID=")[1]; return result;};
