Get file language

[vchris]

I need to get the language from a file. My files are named bla_e.php and bla_f.php. How can I identify the language in javascript?

[vchris]

Or do you know how to get only the filename?

[aspnetguy]

var url = window.location;var lang = "";if(url.indexOf("_e.php") != -1)  lang = "english";else if(url.indexOf("_f.php") != -1) lang = "french";else  lang = "unknown";

[vchris]

Thanks!Always wondered are the { and } optional in javascript?

[aspnetguy]

only if you have 1 line followinglike

if(condition) dosomething();//orif(condition)  dosomething();//unexpected resultif(condition)  doSomething();  do somethingElse();//what the above is really doingif(condition){  dosomething();}dosomethingElse();

var url = window.location;var lang = "";if(url.indexOf("_e.php") != -1)  lang = "english";else if(url.indexOf("_f.php") != -1) lang = "french";else  lang = "unknown";

I tried your code but I get javascript errors. It says that url.indexOf is not a function. Then I tried url.search and it said the same thing...

hi,first try to assign the var url the value window.location.href(var url = window.location.href) then try the codew again.
