Javascript get URL thing

[kanala]

Is it possible to use javascript to retrieve information from the URL? Like you can do with PHP e.g. www.google.com/index.php?id=41Does javascript have that ?id thing?I need it because I want to make a shop using html and javascript only, as my host does not allow php. What I need is e.g. if id = 41, then the page is linked to another javascript page named 41.jsThanks

You can access the URL through window.location.href. If you only want the querystring (after the question mark), you can use window.location.search.

Thanks, so if I wanted to change the src to the window.location.search would I do:<script src="window.location.search + '.js'" type="text/javascript"></script>It needs to end in .js

If you wanted to change the src to window.location.search, then yes, that is what you would do. That would only be a valid filename though if you only had one parameter on the querystring and it didn't have a value, e.g. index.html?41. Also, I'm pretty sure that the search property includes the question mark, so you would want to strip that out first.http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/prop_loc_search.asp

I don't know who made this function, and I have never test it, but i think it will work.

<script type="text/javascript">//The functionfunction getFormValues() {   var search = window.location.search.substring(1);   var pairs = search.split("&");   var ret = new Object();   for(var pair in pairs) {	  ret[pairs[pair].split("=")[0]] = pairs[pair].split("=")[1];   }   return ret;}//Have this to call the function_GET = getFormValues();//_GET is now an array with the values of the querystring, just like in PHP.//Example of using:alert(_GET['name']);</script>

Maybe this isn't what you seek, but it may become useful. The code above is from PHPportalen (Sweden) (http://www.phpportalen.net/viewtopic.php?p=400967#400967), if anyone care.

Thanks a lot, but I found that using html and javascript only is a real pain. So I'm using PHP too.

Hi you can do it with these steps.

<script language="javascript">  var myURL = document.URL;</script>

then in variable myURL you can fine the character ? and onward so you have to split manually ur variables and its values.Last thing on next page you can't get the variable values in JavaScript here you need to use PHP or ASP.ThanksAli.
