title: Getting the url parameters inside the html page
body: <p>I have a HTML page which is loaded using a URL that looks a little like this:</p>
  <pre><code>http://localhost:8080/GisProject/MainService?s=C&amp;o=1
  </code></pre>
  <p>I would like to obtain the <strong>query string parameters</strong> in the URL without using a <code>jsp</code>.</p>
  <h3>Questions</h3>
  <ol>
  <li><p>Can this be done using <code>Javascript</code> or <code>jQuery</code>?
  Because I want to test my page using my <code>Node.js</code> local server before   deploying it in the remote machine which uses a Java server.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Is there any library that will allow me to do that?</p>
  </li>
  </ol>
