jqURL
by Josh Nathanson

various manipulations on url strings and windows.  
all functions can also take a window object as an argument,
for example {win:opener}
but will default to current window if none is passed.

public functions:

-------------------------
.url({ 
	 win:window object 
	 })
-------------------------
returns the whole url string
like win.location.href

	so if the current window href is "http://www.mysite.com?var1=1&var2=2&var3=3"
	
	$.jqURL.url() returns "http://www.mysite.com?var1=1&var2=2&var3=3"
	
	
------------------------------
.loc(urlstr:string, 
	 { 
	 win:window object, 
	 w:integer, 
	 h:integer, 
	 t:integer,
	 l:integer,
	 wintype:string('_top'[default],'_blank','_parent') )
	})
------------------------------																			 
- directs passed in window to urlstr, which is required
- works like window.location.href = 'myurl'
- but you can also use it to pop open a new window by passing in "_blank" as the wintype
- if popping open a window, defaults to center of screen

	so
	$.jqURL.loc('http://www.google.com',
				{w:200,h:200,wintype:'_blank'});
	would open Google in a new centered 200x200 window
	
	or, locate an url to any named window:
	$.jqURL.loc('http://www.google.com',{ win:mywindow });
	opens Google in mywindow


------------------------------
.qs({ 
	ret:string('string'[default],'object'), 
	win:window object })
------------------------------
returns querystring, either string (pass ret:'string' [default])
or object (pass ret:'object') 

	so if the current window href is "http://www.mysite.com?var1=1&var2=2&var3=3"

	$.jqURL.qs();
	returns "var1=1&var2=2&var3=3"
	
	$.jqURL.qs({ ret:'object' });
	returns Object var1=1,var2=2,var3=3


------------------------------
.strip({ keys:string(list of keys to strip), win:window object })
------------------------------
if passed with no arguments, returns url with '?' and query string removed
if you pass in list of keys, it returns url with the specified key-value pairs removed

	so if the current window href is "http://www.mysite.com?var1=1&var2=2&var3=3"

	$.jqURL.strip();
	will return
	"http://www.mysite.com"
	
	$.jqURL.strip({ keys:'var1,var2' });
	will return
	"http://www.mysite.com?var3=3"
	
	
-------------------------------------
.get(key, {win:window object})
-------------------------------------
returns value of passed in querystring key

	so if the current window href is "http://www.mysite.com?var1=1&var2=2&var3=3"
	$.jqURL.get('var2');
	will return 2

--------------------------------------
.set(hash, {win:window object})
--------------------------------------
returns the window's url, but with the keys/values set in the query string
if the keys already exist, re-sets the value
if they don't exist, they're appended onto the query string
