[jQuery] Re: extract base url

Here is an example:

I need to append '?key=val1' to the current url which is
www.mysite.com/web/test.html

and this I can do using:
window.location.href+'?key=val1' resulting in www.mysite.com/web/test.html?key=val1

I now need a way to modify val1 to val2, if I do:
window.location.href+'?key=val2' results in www.mysite.com/web/test.html?key=val1?key=val2

but I need: www.mysite.com/web/test.html?key=val2

There are ways to break down the url but wanted to know if there is
anything jQuery already provides. Thanks!
