There is now a new api URLSearchParams. Use that in conjunction with window.location.search
var urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
console.log(urlParams.get('tabid'));
If your browser does not support URLSearchParams, you can create a custom fallback function:
function getParam(name) {
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, '\\[').replace(/[\]]/, '\\]');
var regex = new RegExp('[\\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)');
var results = regex.exec(location.search);
return results === null ? '' : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, ' '));
};
console.log(getParam('tabid'));
