What do you use to parse the url?

[willeffects]

I wouldn't even consider myself a rookie with javascript but know it can be done, so thanks for any help.

What function would I use to have javascript read the page it is on, grab the url which is like:
http://www.example.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=88837&mode=linear

and say if the url includes "mode=linear" then apply this style sheet?

Thanks!
Will

I think it would be better to analize this on a server side, like php,perl or aspx
Good luck to you!

window.url.split('\&')

then test indexOf('mode') ...

Or document.innerHTML and then apply a url regex to it

I dont see how you could grab an url with innerHTML?
