Site parameter/argument collection.

What is the command to use to view the parameters passed to a website?

Example, if ‘www.someSite.com?x=1&y=2&z=3’

I can split the URL at the ‘?’ character
and then split at the ‘&’ character
and finally split at the ‘=’ character
to get the key=value pairs of x=1, y=2, and z=3.

But how do I get the information passed starting at the ‘?’ character to begin?

While looking up your reference, 'location.search'

I also found I could use 'location.href'

Is there an advantage of using one over the other?

Thank you for your time.

location.href contains the full URL.

location.search only contains the query string (including the "?") if there is one.

That was most informative.
