javascript - Get escaped URL parameter

itemprop="text">

I'm looking for a jQuery
plugin that can get URL parameters, and support this search string without outputting
the JavaScript error: "malformed URI sequence". If there isn't a jQuery plugin that
supports this, I need to know how to modify it to support
this.

?search=%E6%F8%E5

The
value of the URL parameter, when decoded, should
be:

æøå

(the
characters are Norwegian).

I don't have access
to the server, so I can't modify anything on it.

Answer

You should not use jQuery for
something like this!
The modern way is to use small reusable
modules through a package-manager like
Bower.

I've created a tiny href="https://github.com/sindresorhus/query-string" rel="nofollow">module
that can parse the query string into an object. Use it like
this:

// parse the query string
            into an object and get the
            property

queryString.parse(unescape(location.search)).search;
//=>
            æøå
