try like this

http://test.com/testing/test/12345

var aarr = window.location.href.split('/');
//get last value
var id = aarr[aarr.length -1];

or just

 var id = window.location.href.split('/').pop()

Use this :

document.location.href.split('/').pop()

Running it on this page yields : 22139563#22139563

That's part of the path, not the query string... but you can access the page's URL using window.location.

The path is available at window.location.pathname which can be split up using forward slashes: window.location.pathname.split('/')

And then you can get the last item of the array: window.location.pathname.split('/').pop()
