RFC3986 (URI Generic Syntax) presents a regular expression for parsing generic URI's: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#page-50 Something like this (not tested): jQuery.parseURI = function(uri) { var m = /^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?/.exec(uri); return { scheme: m[2], authority: m[4], path: m[5], query: m[7], fragment: m[9] }; } So: $.parseURI($(this).attr("href")).query would return the query string, which can then be parsed by the function above, or combine the two functions. - Mark Gibson _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
