JavaScript Source¶

function PageQuery(q) 
{
    if(q.length > 1) 
        this.q = q.substring(1, q.length);
    else 
        this.q = null;
        
    this.keyValuePairs = new Array();
    if(q) 
    {
        for(var i=0; i < this.q.split("&").length; i++) 
        {
            this.keyValuePairs[i] = this.q.split("&")[i];
        }
    }
    this.getKeyValuePairs = function() { return this.keyValuePairs; }
    this.getValue = function(s) 
        {
            for(var j=0; j < this.keyValuePairs.length; j++) 
            {
                if(this.keyValuePairs[j].split("=")[0] == s)
                return this.keyValuePairs[j].split("=")[1];
