    top.location.href question



    I'm very new to javascript and need only a small amount in an asp.net
    application I'm working on. I apologize if I'm not using the correct
    terminology to describe the problem.
    I got the code below to work under most conditions to capture the client's
    screen resolution and then redirect to another page (but there likely are
    better ways to code this). This needs to work under 3 conditions; A) if the
    current top.location.hr ef is similar to www.hhh/ B) if the current
    top.location.hr ef is similar to www.hhh/?user=xxx and C) if the current
    top.location.hr ef is similar to www.hhh/default.apsx

    The code below works for situation A and B, but not C. In other words, I
    need to redirect to
    https://www.hhh/Prelim/00bPreliminary.aspx

    and not to www.hhh/default.aspxPrelim/00bPreliminary.aspx

    (while also passing the screen resolution and username if there is one).
    Can someone please show me what I'm missing to get rid of the default.aspx
    if it is there, or to write this in a better manner?

    <script type = "text/javascript" >
    <!--
    {
    res = "res="+screen.w idth+"x"+screen .height;
    y = top.location.pa thname ;
    a = location.search ;
    if (a == ""){
    a = "?";
    }
    top.location.hr ef= y+"Prelim/00bPreliminary. aspx"+a+"&"+res ;
    }
    // -->
    </script>

    Thanks
    Jeff

      Why is the resolution even important? Unless you intend to resize the
      window itself I have never understood it's importance unless the
      resulting page deals with desktop items or the such.

      This needs to work under 3 conditions;
      A) if the current top.location.hr ef is similar to www.hhh/
      B) if the current top.location.hr ef is similar to www.hhh/?user=xxx and
      C) if the current top.location.hr ef is similar to www.hhh/default.apsx
      It almost seems pedantic, but you have to define "is similar".
      The code below works for situation A and B, but not C. In other words, I
      need to redirect to
      https://www.hhh/Prelim/00bPreliminary.aspx

      and not to www.hhh/default.aspxPrelim/00bPreliminary.aspx
      What would be the initial URL that you need to redirect from? Without
      knowing that, a person can only guess as to how to fix the code.
      (while also passing the screen resolution and username if there is one).
      Can someone please show me what I'm missing to get rid of the
      default.aspx if it is there, or to write this in a better manner?
      y = top.location.pa thname.replace( 'default.aspx', '')

      Will remove default.aspx from the location, which is what you are saying
      you want to do.
      <script type = "text/javascript" >
      <!--
      {
      res = "res="+screen.w idth+"x"+screen .height;
      y = top.location.pa thname ;
      It may, or may not, be possible in your application but beware that
      top.location.pa thname will give erroneous results if your page gets
      "framed". document.locati on.pathname is a safer route, then set
      top.location.hr ef and it will bust out of any potential framed situations.

          It is a somewhat specialized application that isn't really intended to pubic
          use.
          The application really needs everything to show without scroll bars. In the
          unlikely event that someone is using a monitor smaller than 800x600 I need
          to provide a warning that the application won't work properly.

          Will remove default.aspx from the location, which is what you are saying
          you want to do.
          The code above (with the .replace) works for me.

          Thanks.
