conditional url

test for the window.location .hash property. (MDC – window.location)

**geraldjr30** · Jan 21 '09, 05:50 PM

now i have:

Code:

<html>

<BODY>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

 function showLoc()
 {
   var x = window.location;

if (x = "http://httplocalhost/checkurl.html")
{
document.write("<a href='http://www.microsoft.com'>go to microsoft</a>");
}
else
{
document.write "stay here"
}

   var t = ['Property - Typeof - Value',
            'window.location - ' + (typeof x) + ' - ' + x ];
   for (var prop in x){
     t.push(prop + ' - ' + (typeof x[prop]) + ' - ' +  (x[prop] || 'n/a'));
   }
   alert(t.join('\n'));
 }
</SCRIPT>



</html>

but its not doing anything...

saying "error on page" at the bottom of the window.

firstly, window.location is an object, not a string. secondly, there's a syntax error in line 18 (missing brackets) and probably the wrong operator on line 12. thirdly, javascript should be served with a type declaration in the <script> tag.

**geraldjr30** · Jan 21 '09, 06:56 PM

ok..

i figure it out.. here is my code... appearing at the bottom after the PHP code:

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
 function showLoc()
 {
   var x = window.location;
if (x == "http://localhost/checkurl.html")
{
document.write("<a href='http://www.microsoft.com'>go to microsoft</a>");
}
else
{
document.write ("stay here")
}

 }

x=0;
document.self.location.reload();
</SCRIPT>

the only problem now is i cant figure out how to get the document.write results after the results of my PHP are listed. i tried <BODY ONLOAD = ...> but that only lists the document.write output from the javascript.

thanks in advance,
geebee

what PHP code?

just out of interest, do you ever enter the first statement in the if clause?

**geraldjr30** · Jan 21 '09, 07:27 PM

yes, i entered the first line of the IF statement. but it only works if i have the <BODY ONLOAD = showLoc()..> and then my PHP output does not display. only the document.write output from the javascript function displays. i want the PHP results to display as a result of my PHP code (not posted here because it is irrelevant i think), and then the document.write from the javascript function to be displayed beneath that.

thanks in advance,

obviously.... the output is defined in a function after all

then there is something wrong with your PHP code.

document.write reopens the document for writing, so don't use it after the page has loaded. Either use DOM methods, set innerHTML of an element or use it during page load only.

**geraldjr30** · Jan 21 '09, 09:10 PM

ok... i think im almost there..

i have..

Code:

<?php>
...
...
?>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function showLoc()
 {
   var x = window.location;
if (x == "http://localhost/REC.php?count=sunday&fac=des&SRG_GROUP=Charity")
{

document.body.innerHTML += "<a href=\"http://www.AOL.com\">AOL</a>";
}
else
{
document.body.innerHTML += "<a href=\"http://www.msn.com\">MICROSOFT</a>";
}
}
</SCRIPT>

but neither AHREF is being shown on the page...

thanks in advance,
geebee

**acoder** · Jan 21 '09, 10:23 PM

Are you calling showLoc body onload?

**geraldjr30** · Jan 22 '09, 01:27 PM

now i am calling it on BODY load.. but the MICROSOFT link is appearing. The url in the address bar is

http://localhost/REC.php?count=sunday&fac=DES&SRG_GROUP=Charity

so it should be listing the AOL link instead... am i evaluating the current url wrong? once again my code is...

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function showLoc()
 {
   var x = window.location;
if (x == "http://localhost/REC.php?count=sunday&fac=DES&SRG_GROUP=Charity")
{

document.body.innerHTML += "<a href=\"http://www.AOL.com\">AOL</a>";
}
else
{
document.body.innerHTML += "<a href=\"http://www.msn.com\">MICROSOFT</a>";
}
}
</SCRIPT>

thanks in advance,

try this one:

Code:

if (x.href == "http://localhost/REC.php?count=sunday&fac=DES&SRG_GROUP=Charity")

**geraldjr30** · Jan 22 '09, 01:36 PM

ok thanks... that works!!!! now all i need to figure out is to evaluate whether or not the url in the address bar is suffixed with "#top", as there may be any day followed by the word "count" in the url, and i would rather not have an if statement for ever day of the week. how would i amend this?

thanks in advance,
geebee
