Hi Larry, render_to_response is one of many ways to return an HttpResponse to send to the client. Wherever your view does the return, you can pass these GET variables.
However, if they are being generated by jQuery, dynamically, you should be using jQuery/javascript to read them and deal with them. This should be client side javascript code. To read the current URL string in jQuery, I found a nice little article at http://jquery-howto.blogspot.com/2009/09/get-url-parameters-values-with-jquery.html which should demonstrate how to get these in javascript on the client-side browser.
