wondering how you can parse information from a url and turn it into a variable to be passed into some javascript..
I have this code

var re = /^http:\/\/.*\/maps\/([^\/]*)\/?(\d*)\/?$/;
var ary = re.exec(document.location);
var username = ary[1];
var photoid = ary[2];


Which seems to work on another site, but what directory must this be put in? This is a snippet of a JS file, but what kind of html file must be implemented, because I know this code won't execute on it's on. how can it recursively work on all subdirectories you could type after the /maps/ directory?
Anyone see what I'm getting at?

based on the questions you are asking, you don't understand the code itself. So start there.
