Get A Parameter From A Rewritten Url With Javascript

I am trying to get a url parameter using javascript so i can pass the paramter to google maps The problem is i'm using mod rewrite on the url www.mysite.com/1/my-event instead of

Solution 1:

The rewritten format, with the query-string, isn't available to your JavaScript.

You'll have to grab the value out of location.pathname (/1/my-event in your example), instead:

varparams = window.location.pathname.split('/').slice(1); // ["1", "my-event"]var id = params[0];
var name = params[1];

Solution 2:

Just split the URL on / characters and take the last elements in the resulting array, mapping them to the names you expect.
