<script>

function showWindowHref(){
    var sHref = window.location.href;
    var args = sHref.split('?');
    if(args[0] == sHref){
        return "";
    }
    var arr = args[1].split('&');
    var obj = {};
    for(var i = 0;i< arr.length;i++){
        var arg = arr[i].split('=');
        obj[arg[0]] = arg[1];
    }
    return obj;
}
var href = showWindowHref(); // obj
console.log(href);           // {mod: "viewthread", tid: "2440", page: "1", extra: "#pid130737"}
