jQuery Snippet #1: URL Parameter Fetching

I've decided to provide you with a new data stream. The jQuery Snippet of the Week. Enjoy.

// Read a page's GET URL variables and return them as an associative array.function getUrlVars(){var vars = [], hash;var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++){hash = hashes[i].split('=');vars.push(hash[0]);vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];}return vars;}

When executed, this function will return a beautiful string-indexed array of your hacking pleasures.

Thanks, Roshambo and jQuery HowTo!
