      hash;
    var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');

    }
    return vars;
  },
  getUrlVar: function(name) {
    return $.getUrlVars()[name];

});

//Second call with this:
// Get object of URL parameters
var allVars = $.getUrlVars();

// Getting URL var by its nam
var byName = $.getUrlVar('name');
