extracting portion of URL

[tennis]

Hi,

I need to extract a portion of a URL and use it as a variable to create another URL. If my URL is:

http://xyz.abc/file.html?geo=st&state=WA&year=1999

How do I just extract the state portion of the url?

Thanks in advance

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
<!--
var myurl = &quot;

http://xyz.abc/file.html?geo=st&state=WA&year=1999&quot;;

var splited = new Array;
splited = myurl.split('&');
alert(splited[1]);
// -->
</script> ---------------------------------------

Thank you for your reply.

Silly....Easy question. How do I get the URL if it is a variable??

Something like location.search.?????

Many thanks

var URL = location.href;
or
URL = window.location;
or
URL = window.location.href;
