How to add a param to a URL that trigger jQuery to run a function on load



Is there a way to add a url param like: http://site.com?open=true





And on document ready, if jQuery sees the open param set to true execute a function?





Thanks

  1. first lets make a good Query string searcher in JS

    function querySt(qsName, url)
    {
    var theUrl;
    if (url == null || url == undefined)
    theUrl = window.location.search.substring(1); else theUrl = url;
    var g = theUrl.split("&");
    for (var i = 0; i < g.length; i++) {
    var pair = g[i].split("=");
    if (pair[0].toLowerCase() == qsName.toLowerCase())
    {
    return pair[1];
    }
    }
    return null;
    }



    $(function (){
    if (querySt("open")!='true') return;

    });

    function $_GET(q,s) {
    s = s ? s : window.location.search;
    var re = new RegExp('&'+q+'(?:=([^&]*))?(?=&|$)','i');
    return (s=s.replace(/^?/,'&').match(re)) ? (typeof s[1] == 'undefined' ? '' : decodeURIComponent(s[1])) : undefined;
    }

  3. You can test location.href with a regex:

    if (location.href.match(/open=true/)
    // do something


    You might want to work on the regex though, to make sure it works for you.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
