JavaScript - Passing A Variable To Window.location.replace
Sorry, this is a newbie question, and probably really dumb, but...
If I create a function that looks like this... Code: function recall(tim) { setTimeout("window.location.replace('somepage.html')",tim); } ...it works fine when called. However; I want to be able to pass the page url in a variable, something like this... Code: function recall(tim, myurl) { setTimeout("window.location.replace(myurl)",tim); } ...but this creates an error, saying "myurl is not defined." Even if I simplify the code and place the url in a variable within the function... Code: function recall(tim) { var myurl="somepage.html"; setTimeout("window.location.replace(myurl)",tim); } ...I still get the "myurl is not defined" error, even tho I am defining it. Plz can someone explain what I'm doing wrong. Tkx... --paul Similar TutorialsOn my main page, I have a list of item ID's which are assigned variables, the list is concatenated and so the variables are always different. So another thing that gets concatenated is a link, which uses javascript/jquery to open a popout modal window which is another php file called sharepost.php. I want to be able to transfer the php variables from the main page to append them on the end of the sharepost.php URL so I can use $_GET to grab them for use. Here's what I have... not working, but I figured I'd give it a try. Code: <?php //use mysql to loop through some variables $post_id = $setvalue; $member_id = $anothersetvalue; $list .= ' <div> ' . $post_id . ' </div> <div> ' . $member_id . ' </div> <div> <a href="#" class="button" onClick="openup(); return false">Share This Post</a> </div> $the_link = " http://sharepost.php?post_id=' . $post_id . '&member_id=' . $member_id . ' "; '; ?> <HTML> <head> <script> // Displays an external page using an iframe function openup(){ var src = "<?php echo $the_link;?>"; $.modal('<iframe src="' + src + '" height="450" width="830" style="border:0">', { closeHTML:"", containerCss:{ height:150, padding:0, width:350 }, overlayClose:true, }); } </script> </head> <body> <?php echo $list;?> </body> </HTML> Code: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> function confirmDelete(url){ var decision = confirm("Click OK to delete this post."); if(decision == true){ window.location = url; } } </script> <!--HTML LATER ON --> <a onclick="confirmDelete('deletePost.php?id=17')" href=''><img src='delete.png' alt='' title='Delete this post' /></a> I get absolutely nothing out of this. The confirm box pops up, but a the URL never changes when I click OK. I have no clue what's going wrong here. I'm using Google Chrome to test this out if that helps. Also does not work in Firefox. Hey guys, So I'm currently trying to make a page redirect using the following code: Code: <img src=foo.png onerror=location.replace('%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%67%6F%6F%67%6C%65%2E%63%6F%6D');> The encoded html part is simply a link http://google.com The code works fine so far on all browsers. But the problem is that it redirects wrongly. It should be redirecting to http://google.com Instead, it takes me to http://mysite.com/http://google.com How do I fix this? Thanks a lot P.S: I cannot use any code for redirection that has an (=) equals sign Which means I can't use location.href='http://google.com' I was debugging my code looking for a loop. So in the process I added a confirm request and if the user clicked cancel I coded location.replace("Kill.html"). Problem was that the JAVASCRIPT continued to run until either it finished or I used the Task Manager to end the session. There3 was a small difference in browsers: Firefox put up the new screen while continuing to run the JAVASCRIPT while IE didn't put up the new screen until after the JAVASCRIPT was finished. I could tell the JAVASCRIPT was still running because the confirm messages kept popping up.
I have around 100,000 html files that I need to do a search/replace on. I currently have the word "Manchester" in all of these files which needs replacing with the full file path location; C:\Demo_Folder\Manchester_file_001.html C:\Demo_Folder\Manchester_file_002.html Your help would really help me sort out my mind blowing task I've been given. Thanx in advance SuperZ Im currently creating a Table with 2 frames (table in top, last row clicked in bottom) Code: <html> <frameset rows = "60%, 40%"> <frame src = "table_driver.php" name = "A" id = "FRAME1"> <frame src = "bottom_row.php" name = "B" id = "FRAME2"> </frameset> </html> In bottom_row.php I have one object, a [obj = new TableData()]. onClick of a row in FRAME1, obj is initialized to what was clicked and the row is changed. anyways currently I have it working but want it such that it can work with multiple frames, with a location parameter. this is currently what I have Code: function TableData(headers, row, loc) { this.headerArr = headers; this.rowArr = row; this.myLoc = loc; { parent.B.document.close(); parent.B.document.open(); parent.B.document.write('<table id = "copyTable" border = "1">'); for(i=0; i<this.headerArr.length; i++) { parent.B.document.write('<tr><th>'); parent.B.document.write(this.headerArr[i]); parent.B.document.write('</th><td>'); parent.B.document.write(this.rowArr[i]); parent.B.document.write('</td></tr>'); } parent.B.document.write('</table>'); } } parent.B gets me FRAME2 and I want to either do: parent.this.myLoc parent.loc parent.myLoc but I havent had any luck with any of these. it is a javascript function any ideas? thanks! Here is the program: http://www.1728.com/newwindow.htm Basically, I want to input a number in the input box, which assigns a number to the variable numval located at document.box1.b1. When clicking on the "new window" button, an alert displays the input box value, then another window opens and displays the integers 1 through 12 and the amount squared. I would like the new window to obtain the number from the previous window so that the new window will display integers (and their squares) from 1 to the value of numval. What are the differences between results of these two. Code: window.location.hostname or Code: document.location.hostname Hi there im making a estate agency website for my college assignment and have come across a problem when using windows.location for some reason it is not working what i want to do is go to a page when searching the right content and then clicking the submit button so when i type hello for example into the text box i want to get relocated to renting1.html page but for some reason it is not working i know that the variable is set up right as if i change the content of the if statement to an alert then that works can anyone spot a problem in my code snipit <form id="form1" method="post" action="" > <label>Search House Name: <input name="Search" type="text" id="Search" size="50" /> </label> <label>Search <input type="submit" name="Search2" id="Search2" value="Submit" onclick="testResults()" /> </label> <script type="text/javascript"> function testResults() { var TestVar = form1.Search.value; if(TestVar=="hello") window.location = "renting1.html"; else alert("Invalid"); } </script> thanks for any help dave Can someone tell me how to change the following code so that it will open in a new window? (like target="_blank" in html) Code: if (phone_num=="1234") document.location="http://mysite/formgov/makeadifference.html"; I have searched for hours trying to find a solution and have tried many things, nothing has worked. The example shown above is just one of many urls that I want to change. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe this is not possible. I know nothing about javascript. Hello In phase of my deployment I send the user a window from a servlet and inorder to communicate with an applet already loaded in another window in the browser I thought I could set the window.opener.location="${formbean.property}"; and it partly works, it get set, I see the new window flash, but it then executes that url. Two questions? 1. setting the window.opener.location in an onLoad() should not force a post back to the server, correct? I am just trying to keep that window I want up there and set an internal property so I can access the applet in the other window. Trying to make this "synthetically" a child of that page opened with the applet so I can call the applets methods simply. 2. Is there another way for a new browser window to directly access an applet in another page? I could go the route of making a probe applet and hoping they share the same JVM, (JRE1.6.0.25) access it that way. Is/how that the way to do it? If you go to: http://ocmd.freehostia.com/tbb/ You'll see that when the user presses enter, it goes to another page. Currently, in the scripts part of my page is this: Code: function checkKey() { if (window.event.keyCode == 13) { var audioElement = document.createElement('audio'); audioElement.setAttribute('src', 'horse.ogg'); audioElement.play(); window.location = "google.html"; return false; } } Notice how I'm trying to play an audio file? Well, I need for the window.location to go after the audio file plays, or alternatively for it to be played after xx milliseconds. Thank-you. Hi, I have a requirement of parent and child window. Onclick of a link on the parent page i am opening a child window with "window.location". On the child window i am displaying a jsp with the overlap screen on the parent screen using DOJO. After doing all the action on the child page when i am about to close the child window which is having button like cancel,close i am hiding the overlap screen. But my actual concern is when i close the child window, my parent page's scroll bar is scrolling down to the bottom of the page which should not happen and it should be there at the top of the page. How can i acheive this behaviour. Can anyone help me in this. Thanks in advance dears, am trying to redirect user from onchange event to another location in the page. its work fine in IE but not in firefox :-( why window.location doesn't work in FF ? Html: Code: <form name="forder"> <select name="bycat" onchange="gocat()"> <option value=1>one</option> <option value=2>two</option> <option value=3>three</option> </select> </form> javascript: Code: function gocat() { window.location ="index.php?show&cat=" + forder.bycat.options(forder.bycat.selectedIndex).value; } any idea???? how can you do onclick="return getconfirm('do you want to logout?');" onClick="window.location('logout.asp');" on the same button , if confirm then go url else stay here ? thank you I guess this is an easy question for all javascripters but I don't know how to manage (I'm pretty fresh with JS). I found two solutions on this forum but it seems that they don't work(?). I want to delay for few seconds window.location.href="destination_site.html" before it will automatically take visitor to destination site. It has something to do with setTimeout but I would be greatful for posting a fixed code. Thanks in advance. Hey guys. I'm currently paying for a web service on a hosted platform. Basically, I'm unable to edit any raw content, however I am able to do things like add JS/HTML to the header or footer of a page, which will in turn be displayed on every page of this platform. My dilemma is, I only want content being showed on a single page of the platform. Specifically, I want a window.alert being displayed on the "/signup" page, but all I have to work with is JS in a global footer. Is there some way I can use window.location to achieve this? EDIT: I SOLVED THIS BY USING "#" instead of "?". Thank you. Hello. My goal is to take a user's email from a form, store it in a cookie, and append it to the window location on the following page. I am doing this so that when a user shares the page with "add this widget" the stats will show me who shared the page. The problem I have is that window.location.replace("?"+ user_email); seems to be sending the browser in an infinite loop. Right now it is running as an inline function in the head. I tried calling the function with body onload and had the same problem. Code: <script = "Javascript"> (function readCookie() { var user_email = unescape(document.cookie); if (document.cookie) { window.location.replace("?"+user_email); } })(); </script> Is there another way I could achieve the same result? Thank you, Jack I know next to nothing about javascript and I don't even know if this is possible. I need to target window.location.href to an iframe on a different page. So, right now, the piece of the code that redirects the browser looks like this: Code: window.location.href='http://www.somewhere.com/'; Works great, brings it up in the same browser window. So now I need to modify the code so it goes to a different page and brings that page up in a specified iframe. I hope this makes sense. I really need help. And if it is not possible, I just need to know to abandon all hope. |
