I know if I have a php page, I can pass variables to the next page through the url with $_GET. Such as:
yields:
$currentName = $_GET["fname"]
$currentAge = $_GET["age"]
Is there an equally easy way to do this in pure HTML (or javascript)?

using jQuery you can get url parameters with window.location but parsing with regex
$.urlParameter = function(name){
var results = new RegExp('[\\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href);
return results[1] || 0;
}
$.urlParameter('Parameter name');
OR with JS
function urlParameter(name){
var results = new RegExp('[\\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href);
return results[1] || 0;
}
urlParameter('Parameter name');
