In Sage CRM customizations most of the times we need query string (URL) parameters to be used in the code. As far as server side programming is concerned, there are several ways by which we can get URL values and use them. Complexity increases when it comes to client side scripting. One needs to write code which parses URL and extracts required value from it. Is there an easier method? YES, there is.

\nClient side API introduced in SageCRM 7.2 onwards is something I like to call a treat for developers which reduce lot of customization efforts. Through client side API, 2 new functions were introduced named \u201cgetArg\u201d and \u201cgetArgs\u201d. These functions help making work with URL\u2019s very easy.
\nHere is how I get the Querystring parameters (e.g. ACT) from URL using this method.
\n<snippet><\/em><\/span>
\n<script language=’javascript’><\/em><\/span>
\ncrm.ready(function () {<\/em><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 var sAct=crm.getArg(“Act”,crm.url());<\/em><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 if(sAct==”” || sAct==”undefined” || sAct==null)sAct=””;<\/em><\/span>
\n});<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/script><\/em><\/span>
\n<snippet><\/em><\/span>
\nSimilarly you can use getArgs function which returns object which has query string values.
