I want jquery to find and change the current URL you are visiting and load the new one. Lets say jquery is supposed to change the current "index.html" to "indexalt.html" on click and then load it. My idea is to use document.URL to get the current URL then slice off ".html" at the end and add for example "alt.html" to string. I'm very new to jquery and don't get it to work. There will be a lot of mistakes within my script probably:
$("#contact").on('click', function() {
var url=document.URL(str.slice(-7));
.load("url +"alt.html"");
I would really appreciate if anyone can tell me how to do it and how to write it down correctly in a whole. Thanks!
location.href returns the URL of the page. So, you can do this instead.
$("#contact").on("click", function() {
// Slicing 5 characters from the URL.
const url = location.href.slice(0, -5)
// Simply load the URL
location.href = url + "alt.html"
})

var urladdress = 'autopage
I used window.open(urladdress, "_self"); to load a new url but it was adding urladdress to existing address within the browser i.e.
current url within the browser is https://currenturl.com/currentpage/ I want to load a new page autopage so expected url is https://currenturl.com/autopage/
but using window.open(urladdress, "_self"); leads to https://currenturl.com/currentpage/autopage/.
Please how can i achieve that
The problem stems from your "urladdress" variable.
Writing your link like this "link" will just add it to the current active path.
If you want to always end up in "www.example.com/link" just add an "/" before your path ("/autopage" in your example).
So it's kind of a dumb question but I'm really wondering how I can make this :
user type www.mydomaine.com/something
page display : something
and it does with anything he type after the domain name
I've no idea how I could do that. I know I can get an info from an URL with jQuery but how can i remove the thing like index.html in the url? My guess would be with the htaccess?
Also, there won't be any other page but this with some design, how can I make sure someone doesn't go anywhere else but on the page that display what he wrote after the domain name?
I hope that's clear, thanks for reading and your answers !

When creating an anchor tag and adding an href (or making a URL) I needed the URL to have a protocol (http or https), so I made a validation to add it, and then you can access the parameters of the URL easier.
Also, if you want to remove the / from the pathname you can use a .replace('/', '') when using parser.pathname
For removing index.html from the URL, you can split the path and get only the first element, or the ones you need f.e. parser.pathname.split('/')[0]
var myUrl = "www.mydomaine.com/something"
if (!myUrl.startsWith('http')) myUrl = 'http://' + myUrl;
var parser = document.createElement('a');
parser.href = myUrl;
console.log(parser.pathname);
// Other option
var theUrl = new URL(myUrl);
console.log(theUrl.pathname);
I used this as a reference.
I need to get the previous url to redirect to the previous page. I have url like www.mysite.com/users/register/#1.
I use document.referrer to get the previous url,but it doesn't return hash part(#1). How to get the previous url including hash part?
How to get previous url including hash fragment using JavaScript?
As you've noted, the hash fragment part of that means you can't use document.referrer.
If the previous page was on the same origin: You'd need to have code on that page recording the full URL, for instance in sessionStorage.
On the previous page, perhaps each time hashChange is fired:
sessionStorage.setItem("last-url", location);
On the new page, to get the URL:
var lastUrl = sessionStorage.getItem("last-url");
If the previous page was on a different origin: I'm fairly certain you can't.
I need to get the previous url to redirect to the previous page.
Actually, you don't. You can just use history.go(-1) or history.back() to do that, which work regardless of the origin of the previous page.
try for previous url,
function backtopage() {
window.history.back();
}
May be you can use onhashchange event.
When url is changed,it produces a event with old url and new url.
The oldurl has even the hash part
$(window).bind('statechange',function(){
// Prepare Variables
var State = History.getState(),
url = State.url,
states = History.savedStates,
prevUrlIndex = states.length - 2,
prevUrl = states[prevUrlIndex].hash;
});
Try this one::
In previous page url:
www.mysite.com/users/register/#1
In Current Page:
$(document).ready(function() {
var referrerUrl = document.referrer.replace("#","e");
var correctUrl=referrerUrl.replace("e","#");
});
function updateView(category) {
console.log( window.location.hash );
if (location.hash !== ""){
//convert #3 to 3.
//load video based on id
//myArray[sanitizedHash];
} else {
updateCategoryLabel(category);
currentList = updateVideosList(category);
chooseRandomVideoFromList();
}
}
This function is loaded on page load
How can I parse inside this function so that the the location.hash's '#' will be taken out of the URL?
In short I am trying to achieve www.mysite.com/3 versus www.mysite.com/#3
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I should add that the 'else' is basically randomizing on page load versus going to the direct url. This if statement will run on page load to check if the hash exists otherwise it will randomize as usual.
Altering the URL from 'www.mysite.com/#3' to 'www.mysite.com/3' will cause the browser to navigate to a new URL since www.mysite.com/3 is not the same page as www.mysite.com/#whatever.
If you just want a string with the first character of the hash trimmed try:
window.location.hash.substr(1)
You can get the window.location.hash and then replace the # with an empty string
if (location.hash !== ""){
var sanitizedHash = window.location.hash.replace("#", "");
//load video based on id
//myArray[sanitizedHash];
}
If your goal is NOT to trigger page load, you can use HTML5 History API to change URL from www.mysite.com/#3 to www.mysite.com/3 like that:
var id = location.hash.substr(1);
history.replaceState({id:id}, id, id);
Note that replaceState is used, because otherwise user can press back button to the browser and get back to the #3. If you want to allow that, replace replaceState with pushState. Hope that helps.
there is 2 pages, 1 is ENG.html another 1 is GER.html., and there is some tabs in those 2 pages, their link is: eng.html#work eng.html#about eng.html#home
when click on change language link i need to stay on #work or #home wherever i was, how to do it? please don't post php, html and javascript and others are acceptable, and i don't want to create 2 separate (ENG, GER) folder, any suggestions?
Try this:
// set the url we're going to
var url = "GER.html", // for example
// get the hashtag text
hash = window.location.hash,
// make the new url
loc = url + hash;
// finally, go there
window.location.href = loc;
