The attr() method returns a string, rather than the jQuery object, so you won't
be able to chain
it. You could modifiy the $.query function and pass in the value of q ... like
so:
jQuery.query = function(q) {
var r = {};
q = q.replace(/^\?/,''); // remove the leading ?
q = q.replace(/\&$/,''); // remove the trailing &
jQuery.each(q.split('&'), function(){
var key = this.split('=')[0];
var val = this.split('=')[1];
// convert floats
if(/^[0-9.]+$/.test(val))
val = parseFloat(val);
// ingnore empty values
if(val)
r[key] = val;
});
return r;
};
Then call it like this:
q = $.query($(this).attr('href'));
