Get URL Parameters using jQuery

To implement this, I have created a function which returns value of any parameters variable.

function GetURLParameter(sParam)
{
    var sPageURL = window.location.search.substring(1);
    var sURLVariables = sPageURL.split('&');
    for (var i = 0; i < sURLVariables.length; i++) 
    {
        var sParameterName = sURLVariables[i].split('=');
        if (sParameterName[0] == sParam) 
        {
            return sParameterName[1];
        }
    }
}​

And this is how you can use this function assuming the URL is,
 "http://dummy.com/?technology=jquery&blog=jquerybyexample". 

var tech = GetURLParameter('technology');
var blog = GetURLParameter('blog');

So in above code variable "tech" will have "jquery" as value and "blog" variable's will be "jquerybyexample".
