JavaScript - Code That Determines That Path Of The Page It's On?

Hi all
First post.
I don't normally use Javascript apart from a few browser workarounds, but I have a requirement to set a country cookie and it was working when all my pages were in the same directory, but now that I've added subdirectories, it sets a new cookie for each directory instead of one sitewide.

Here's the code (which I edited from some found on the internet):
Code:

// JavaScript Document

<!--
function ReadCookie() {
var NameOfCookie="Country";
if(document.cookie.length > 0)
  {
     begin = document.cookie.indexOf(NameOfCookie+"=");
     if(begin != -1)
     {
        // our cookie was set.
        // The value stored in the cookie is returned from the function
        begin += NameOfCookie.length + 1;
        end = document.cookie.indexOf(";",begin);
        if(end == -1) end = document.cookie.length;
        country=(document.cookie.substring(begin,end));
		if (country=="HongKong")document.location.href='hk/';
		if (country=="Australia")document.location.href='au/'
		if (country=="NewZealand")document.location.href='nz/'

     }
  }
}
function SetCookie(cookieName,cookieValue) {
 var today = new Date();
 var expire = new Date();
var nDays=365
 expire.setTime(today.getTime() + 3600000*24*nDays);
 document.cookie = cookieName+"="+escape(cookieValue)
                 + ";expires="+expire.toGMTString();
}
//-->

Then on the homepage links I use:
Code:

<a href="hk/" onClick="SetCookie('Country','HongKong');">Hong Kong</a>

Then on the subdirectory pages, I have a reset button which allows you to return to the homepage and disable the redirect.
Code:

<a href="../" onClick="SetCookie('Country','Null');">HONG KONG</a>

So I just need the path=/ to be added somewhere is that right?
I tried changing the last line of the main code to:
Code:

+ ";expires="+expire.toGMTString()+" path=/";

but that only worked in IE not Firefox.

Can anyone help?

Thank you!

Hi all,

I have an .xsl file that reads an xml file and populates an html file and that is working well. I want to have many xml files (one per project) and one .xsl and html file. The goal would be to get the user to browse for the particular xml file they want to use and have the html file reference the path and file name.

There will be a main page where the user will browse for the xml file in question. When they hit submit, the information (document path) is passed to the html file and the html file opens with information from the xml page they selected .In my html file I have the following:

Code:

xml.load(''12345.xml'')

Basically I would like to somehow browse to the xml file in question and pass that variable (file path and name) to the html file and replace "1234.xml" with the path and name selected by the browse section.

Does this make sense?

Thanks.

The easiest way to do this would be via server-side code.

For example, just have a PHP page the includes the desired ".xml" file into a page that is already setup with the XSLT.

I vaguely recall reading that there is a way to "apply" XSLT to a dynamic set of XML, but the function named apply() in XSLT doesn't do anything like this.

Still, the easiest way to control this would be via the server side code. Heck, that would even allow you to string together "pieces" of XML from various files to create the final document.

I'm working on a site built through Squarespace, and I've run into some limitations. They've told me it's possible to build a Javascript to pull specific images from one page's journal entries and place them (with links to the entry) on other pages.

Can somebody send me in the right direction on how I would do this? Basically I want to find a most recent posting tagged with a specific category, find the file file path of it's related image, and make that appear on the page that my javascript is on.

Ok guys if you look at this page www.runningprofiles.com/members/shout/view.php my code works great....

But when i add it to the rest of the script the code wont work shows he

Below is view.php (the one that works)
and the one added to the code scirpt is the one the does not.

Basically, I have it so that when you click something, then it expands and then shows text. The part I am having trouble at is the text being a php include. Here is the line that works for pre-typed in information:

Code:

divbody.innerHTML = "Some random text here.";

Then when I want to do something like this:

Code:

divbody.innerHTML = "<?php include('widgets/products.php'); ?>";

Then the actual innerHTML comes out like this:

Code:

<!--?php include('widgets/products.php'); ?-->

It seems as if it is changing '<' and '>' to '<!--' and '-->' respectively.
