SharePoint (and Project Server) Shenanigans

Quite often during my implementations I need to retrieve values from the query string to use as prefill values or perhaps redirect users to another page where I am using the Query String URL Filter.

 1 function querySt(ji) {
 2  hu = window.location.search.substring(1);
 3  hu = hu.toLowerCase();
 4  gy = hu.split("&");
 5 
 6  for (i=0;i<gy.length;i++) {
 7   ft = gy[i].split("=");
 8 
 9   if (ft[0] == ji) {
10    return ft[1];
11   }
12 
13  }
14  
15  return "";
16 }

Usage:

• Parameter: String – in lowercase (to avoid any confusion or mismatches)
• querySt(“string”);

For Example:

URL: http://servername/pages/test.aspx?ProjectID=PRJ0001

To retrieve the ProjectID value call the function as follows:

• querySt(“projectid”);
