Modifying the function provided in this answer gives a function that you can use to get the value of any parameter in an url:

function getURLParameter(url, parameter) {
  return decodeURIComponent((new RegExp('[?|&]' + parameter + '=' + '([^&;]+?)(&|#|;|$)').exec(url)||[,""])[1].replace(/\+/g, '%20'))||null
}
