jQuery Mobile ignores (removes) querystring parameters in URL and shows URL with hash only. However, you can retrieve querystring only on pagecontainerbeforechange and when data.toPage is a string not an object. At this stage, full URL is stored in data.absUrl.
You may use $.mobile.path.parseUrl().search method to retrieve querystring, or you can use .split("?"), both should work properly.
$(document).on("pagecontainerbeforechange", function (e ,data) {
if (typeof data.toPage == "string") {
var url = $.mobile.path.parseUrl(data.absUrl),
querystring = url.search; /* retruns ?id=test1 */
/* or */
var url = data.absUrl,
querystring = url.split("?")[1]; /* retruns ?id=test1 */
}
});
Edit: If querystring comes after hash, $.mobile.path.parseUrl(url).search will return no value as it considers it a hash. Hence, use second method .split("?").
Another possible way is to utilize pagecontainerbeforetransition as it fires once and returns data.toPage object and data.absUrl string.
Custom function to process URL and retrieve querystring
function getParam(url) {
var parsed = $.mobile.path.parseUrl(url),
hash = parsed.hash.split("?");
return {
search: hash[1].split("=")[1]
};
}
Listen to pagecontainerbeforetransition; both .toPage and .absUrl should be defined and .toPage‘s ID is the page you want to utilize parameters at.
$(document).on("pagecontainerbeforetransition", function (e, data) {
if ($.type(data.toPage) !== "undefined" && $.type(data.absUrl) !== "undefined" && data.toPage[0].id == "pageID") {
var param = getParam(data.absUrl).search;
$(".selector", data.toPage).text("Retrieved: " + param);
}
});
