The code looks as following:
<script type="text/javascript">
function Hello() {
var name = DevExpressUtility.getSelectedItem();
var url = '#Url.Action(' + name + ', "Home")';
//alert(name);
//window.open("../../Views/Home/DisplaySchema9.cshtml", "_blank", "titlebar=no,location=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,fullscreen=yes");
window.open(url, "_blank", "titlebar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,fullscreen=yes");
}
</script>
There is error message - Unrecognized escape sequence.
Not really.
Looks like you have name that is computed client-side but then you believe the server will pick up the current value and somehow re-evaluate the url every time something changes at the client?
It won't work that way.
One of workarounds would be to not to rely on the #Url.Action but consider your current routing and hard-code the actual path. Assuming you have default routes, it should be as simple as
var url = '/Home/' + name;

I have a JavaScript program that worked until I tried to change this: "foldername" to this: http://hokuco.com/test/"+"foldername"+"/index.html".
what is wrong with my code?
For anyone interested entire JS:
document.getElementById("submit").addEventListener("click", function(){
var url = document.getElementById("http://hokuco.com/test/"+"foldername"+"/index.html").value;
window.location.href = "url";
});
<input type id="foldername"></input>
<input type ="button" id ="submit/>
You probably meant:
document.getElementById("submit").addEventListener("click", function(){
var url = "http://hokuco.com/test/" + document.getElementById("foldername").value + "/index.html";
window.location.href = url;
});
Changes:
The parameter in the getElementById function is the same as the id attribute on the input element with the id "foldername".
The window.location.href should be set to a variable, not a quoted string.
More legibly, you would want:
document.getElementById("submit").addEventListener("click", function(){
var folder = document.getElementById("foldername").value;
var url = "http://hokuco.com/test/" + folder + "/index.html";
window.location.href = url;
});
Now, hopefully, it is much more clear about what's going on.
Please read the following documentation to better understand document.getElementById: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/getElementById
Your code will most likely return an uncaught type error when trying to access a property of null. You must only pass a string referring to an Element object's ID.
What are you trying to accomplish? It looks like you are trying to redirect but are using a string literal instead of a variable.
I am not sure if what I'm trying to do is possible or if I'm going about this the right way. In some circumstances I want them to have a GET parameter as part of the URL. I want the receiving page to be able to differentiate whether the sending load has a parameter or not and adjust accordingly.
Here is what I have that is sending the load:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("a").click(function () {
$("div.pageContent").html('');
$("div.pageContent").load($(this).attr('href'));
return false;
});
});
In this case, the load could have "example.php" or "example.php?key=value". In looking around (primarily on this site), I've found things that seem to be close, but don't quite get there. In the page that is getting loaded (example.php), I have the following:
function $_GET(name) {
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
var regex = new RegExp(regexS);
var results = regex.exec(window.location.href);
if (results == null)
return "";
else
return results[1];
}
$(document).ready(function () {
var URL = "example2.php";
if ($_GET('key'))
{
URL = "example2.php?key=" + $_GET('key');
URL = URL.split(' ').join('%20');
}
$("div.output").load(URL);
});
If the sending source includes a query string, I want to add that to the URL and load it in a div that is unique to this page, otherwise I want to just load it as is without the query string. The big issue I'm running into (I believe) is since this is coming from an AJAX call, the "window.location.href" is not what was sent from the JQuery but rather the URL of the root page which never changes. Is there a way to be able to know what the full URL is that was sent from the load() in the first page by the second one?
Thank you in advance for your help.
I realized that the GET parameters were getting passed as I could access them through php without issue. I didn't know that I could insert php code into a javascript block but once I tried it, all worked out. My new code looks like this:
$(document).ready(function () {
var URL = "example2.php";
var myValue = "<?php echo $_GET['key']; ?>";
if (myValue !== "")
{
URL = "example2.php?key=" + myValue;
URL = URL.split(' ').join('%20');
}
$("div.output").load(URL);
});
I was able to get rid of the GET function out of javascript entirely. I probably made this much more difficult from the start but hopefully it can help someone else in the future.
<script type="text/javascript">
var email = document.write(localStorage.getItem('email'));
var pass = document.write(localStorage.getItem('pass'));
var url = document.write(document.URL);
document.location.href = url+"?email="+email+"&pass="+pass;
</script>
But when I enter the page I left the url like this:
http://example.com/undefined?email=undefined&pass=undefined
Not happening ... Anyone know the problem? Thank you very much!
Well, what's up with document.write(…) in here? You don't want to print out anything:
var email = localStorage.getItem('email');
But if you want to print out the values for testing:
var email = localStorage.getItem('email');
document.write(email);
(See also console.log(…))
You should escape the parameters using encodeURIComponent(…):
location.href = url + "?email=" + encodeURIComponent(email) +
"&pass=" + encodeURIComponent(pass);
Also you should not use document.write anyhow. There are plenty more reasonable methods to change the content dynamically on you website.
You should not send a password using GET requests, as they will appear the browser, proxy and server logs. Use POST requests through invisible forms.
<script src="myscript.js?someParameter=123"></script>
From within myscript.js, is there any way to obtain that someParameter was set to 123? Or is the only way to use server side scripts that generate the javascript file with the parameters in it?
Well, you get URL parameters from window.location.href. As the name says, it refers to the current window. What the <script> tag does it to embed the linked file into the current document, thus into the same window. If you parsed window.location.href from the linked JavaScript file, you'd only get the URL from the embedding document.
There are two ways to pass parameters to another JavaScript file:
As #Dave Newton suggested, just declare a variable, then embed the JS file like you did (without the parameters of course, because they have no effect).
Create an iframe, pass the parameters you want to the URL of the iframe, then embed the JavaScript file inside the iframe. An iframe will create a new window instance.
Jquery Address does this, so i've been checking their code out and this is the improved solution I just created myself:
$.each($('script'), function(id, val){ //loop trough all script-elements
var tmp_src = String($(this).attr('src'));//store the src-attr
var qs_index = tmp_src.indexOf('?');//check if src has a querystring and get the index
//Check if the script is the script we are looking for and if it has QS-params
if(tmp_src.indexOf('myscript.js') >= 0 && qs_index >= 0)
{
//this is myscript.js and has a querystring
//we want an array of param-pairs: var1 = value1, var2 = value2, ...
var params_raw = tmp_src.substr(qs_index + 1).split('&');
//create empty options array
var options = [];
//loop troug raw params
$.each(params_raw, function(id, param_pair){
//split names from values
var pp_raw = param_pair.split('=');
//store in options array
options[pp_raw[0]] = pp_raw[1];
});
//check the results out in the console!
console.log(options);
}
});
I hope this does what you need?
The answer is a definite "YES". I've been doing this on various projects for over a decade. The solution is actually easy, it's just non-intuitive (you have to generate an error). To be clear, the following code lets you do something like this:
<script src="https://example.com/script.js?id=1&bar=this works!" />
All you need to do is initiate a silent error, which takes less than 1/1000 of a second even on the worst outdated mobile browsers. You shouldn't do it a ton, but you only need to do it once. This error is processed, so it won't show up as an error in telemetry or 3rd party error trackers either.
// Generic function used to see if a param exists in a URL string.
// Provided here in case you don't know how to do it.
// This is not needed for the solution.
function getParameter (name, url) {
if (!url) url = scriptName()
name = name.replace(/[\[\]]/g, '\\$&')
var regex = new RegExp('[?&]' + name + '(=([^&#]*)|&|#|$)')
var results = regex.exec(url)
if (!results) return null
if (!results[2]) return ''
return decodeURIComponent(results[2].replace(/\+/g, ' '))
}
// Gets the name of this script (whatever this file runs in)
// You can use this name to get parameters just like you would for the window URL :)
function getScriptName () {
var error = new Error(),
source,
lastStackFrameRegex = new RegExp(/.+\/(.*?):\d+(:\d+)*$/),
currentStackFrameRegex = new RegExp(/getScriptName \(.+\/(.*):\d+:\d+\)/)
if ((source = lastStackFrameRegex.exec(error.stack.trim())) && source[1] !== '')
return source[1]
else if ((source = currentStackFrameRegex.exec(error.stack.trim())))
return source[1]
else if (error.fileName !== undefined)
return error.fileName
}
I want to be able to produce a URL based on certain properties and then go to the new URL in javascript.
Here is what I have so far:
triggerNumber = document.findcontrol(txtTrigNo).text;
hostAddress= top.location.host.toString();
url = "http://" + hostAddress "/" + triggerNumber
How do I navigate to the new URL?
Simply try:
window.location = url;
But before trying to do that, you have to make sure the page at the address "http://" + hostAddress "/" + triggerNumber exists. For example by putting valid triggerNumbers in an array and check if it exists or not. So:
//Not sure if at the end it should be .text or .value or .value()
triggerNumber = document.findcontrol(txtTrigNo).text;
var validTriggers = [123, 456, 789];
if (validTriggers.indexOf(parseInt(triggerNumber)) == -1) {
alert("Invalid trigger number");
} else {
hostAddress= top.location.host.toString();
url = "http://" + hostAddress "/" + triggerNumber;
}
Finally, if the destination is a server-side page (php, asp, etc), the address usually looks like this:
"http://" + hostAddress "/trigger.php?id=" + triggerNumber;
but you'd better use forms for this.
Edit: As Cerbrus suggested, validating the values with javascript is a good way to tell the user about his errors before navigating away from the page. But to make sure the correct data is sent to server, it is important to do the validation in the server-side code, too.
In this example, in case of an invalid trigger number the user may finally see a 404 error; but with sensitive information worse things can happen.
What you need is:
document.location.href = url;
After you have the URL in the url variable.
To get value of input element have:
var triggerNumber = document.getElementById("txtTrigNo").value;
This will get the hostname and port of the server, and concatenate the value of the element onto the end, and then go to the resulting URL.
var triggerNumber = document.getElementById("txtTrigNo").value();
var url = "http://"+window.location.host+"/"+triggerNumber;
window.location = url;
