Just figured I would add code for how to pull values into the code page from a URL button within QB. Just replace "rid" with the name of your parameter name.

<script>
function getUrlParameters() {
    var params = {};
    var parts = window.location.href.replace(/[?&]+([^=&]+)=([^&]*)/gi, function(m,key,value) {
        params[key] = value;
    });
    return params;   }
function doCode(){
var recordID=getUrlParameters() ["rid"]; 
alert(recordID); 
 }
</script>

No need for a custom function as all modern browsers now support URLSearchParams
var urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
var recordID = urlParams.get("rid"));
alert(recordID);
