I've seen numerous solutions that utilize RegEx, and to be quite frank, that seems ridiculously excessive since javascript is so versatile.

There must be a simpler way to access request parameters.

Could somebody demonstrate for me?

I found a useful method in the depths of the net.

function querySt(Key) {

    var url = window.location.href;

    KeysValues = url.split(/[?&]+/);

    for (i = 0; i < KeysValues.length; i++) {

        KeyValue = KeysValues[i].split(=);

        if (KeyValue[0] == Key) {

            return KeyValue[1];

        }

    }

}
