Yeah, and there should be plenty of examples if you have a bit of a search around.

Here's another example:

<script type="text/javascript">

// Assume query string of ?text=hello

window.onload = function() {

	server_variables = location.search.substring( 1 ).split( "&" );
	get = new Array();

	for( i=0; i < server_variables.length; i++ ) {

		pair = server_variables[ i ].split( "=" );
		get[ pair[ 0 ] ] = unescape( pair[ 1 ] );
	}

// To access the values: get[ 'text' ] e.g.
// alert( get[ 'text' ] );

}
	
</script>
