How can I read args from url using javascript?

Reply Via News Group Please

Folks,

I thought this would be simple for me to work out, but I can't seem to
find reference to it. I'm flexable on how I call a URL, thus, if I have
any one of the following:

http://www.mydomain.com/index.html?err=dup
http://www.mydomain.com/index.html?err=1
http://www.mydomain.com/index.html?dup

How can I read the value to the right of the question mark?

I want to create a javascript function which reads the url, and, if the
url was passed an arguement, it acts on it (namely, displays an error
message).

All help, via the newsgroup (so others can learn) would be greatly
appreciated...

thanks

Look for information on location.search.
