Or any other ideas? I need to add/change/remove parameters to my url

• You'd like to alter the URL after having a loaded page? – Hacknightly Commented Jan 25, 2012 at 20:01
• yes... exactly, after the page has been loaded – Alex Commented Jan 25, 2012 at 20:02
• This is tough to do, mainly because of the security issues involved. Are you unable to use either of the plugins you linked to? I'd imagine these would only manipulate the hash value. – Hacknightly Commented Jan 25, 2012 at 20:07
• i didn't tried them out because I am looking first for a more recent version to see if something... if not than I will see if they work. From 2009 to 2012 something better could've appeared – Alex Commented Jan 25, 2012 at 20:12
• Manipulating query parameters is such a basic thing that it doesn't hardly matter whether the code is brand new or several years old. – simon Commented Jan 25, 2012 at 20:15

Its easy to do by pure JS.

See this code from www.samaxes.

var queryParameters = {}, queryString = location.search.substring(1),
    re = /([^&=]+)=([^&]*)/g, m;

while (m = re.exec(queryString)) {
    queryParameters[decodeURIComponent(m[1])] = decodeURIComponent(m[2]);
}

// Add new parameters or update existing ones
queryParameters['newParameter'] = 'new parameter';
queryParameters['existingParameter'] = 'new value';
location.search = $.param(queryParameters);

Its not flawless. But at least it can give you some idea.

Update 1:
Here is a function I wrote for another answer (cant remember). It works perfect.
