Changing country code subdirectory from URL

I need to change the country code in the URL when I select the country from the dropdown.
Currently I only have 3 countries in the dropdown, but when I switch from SG (testing.com/sg/features) to IE, the resulting URL becomes (testing.com/ie/sg/features). It works fine when I switch from IE(testing.com/ie/features) to SG(testing.com/sg/features) tho.
<form name="form1">
<select class="region regionTopBar" onchange="formChanged(this);" name="country" size="1" style="font-family: inherit; padding: 5px; border:0px; outline:0px;">
<option value="/">International</option>
<option value="sg/">Singapore</option>
<option value="ie/">Ireland</option>
</select>
</form>
<script>
function formChanged(form) {
var formCountryCode = form.options[form.selectedIndex].value;
var formCountryName = form.options[form.selectedIndex].text;
if (formCountryCode !== null) {
if (localStorage) {
localStorage.country = formCountryCode ;
localStorage.currentSite = formCountryName ;
}
if(formCountryCode == "sg/"){
var url = window.location.href.replace("testing.com/", "testing.com/sg/");
location = url;
}
else if(formCountryCode == "ie/"){
var url = window.location.href.replace("testing.com/", "testing.com/ie/");
location = url;
}
//remove country code from URL when International is selected
else {
var thisLocation = window.location.href;
var splitLoc = thisLocation.split('/');
var newLocation = "";
for (let i = 0; i < splitLoc.length; i++){
if (splitLoc[i] !== "sg" && splitLoc[i] !== "ie")
newLocation += splitLoc[i] + '/';
}
newLocation = newLocation.substring(0, newLocation.length - 1);
location = newLocation ;
}
}
}
</script>
Adding if else like this can fix the issue but as the number of countries increase, it is going to be a mess.
else if(formCountryCode == "ie/" && window.location.href.indexOf("sg/") < 1){
var url = window.location.href.replace("testing.com/", "testing.com/ie/");
location = url;
}
else if(formCountryCode == "ie/" && window.location.href.indexOf("sg/") > 0){
var url = window.location.href.replace("testing.com/sg/", "testing.com/ie/");
location = url;
}
So I am looking for a dynamic way to achieve this.

you can leave out the domain and do this for all country codes.
window.location.href = "/" + formCountryCode
as the domain remains unchanged.
if there is a pathname, then you can do
window.location.href = window.location.pathname.replace(/\/.+?\//, "/" + formCountryCode + "/")
if the pathname is / then we can do this
const path = window.location.pathname;
window.location.href = path === "/" ?
"/" + formCountryCode :
path.replace(/\/.+?\//, "/" + formCountryCode + "/");

I'm having trouble reading a cookie in javascript

When there are multiple cookies on my site my javascript code doesn't work. I do not know how to specify the cookie name in javascript because i'm lacking expirience. The cookie is chancing the background color of the atricle.
Does someone know what i am doing wrong?
this is my code.
<div>
<article id="bg">
<h1>Kies een kleur en kijk wat voor cookie er wordt aangemaakt</h1>
<select id="theme" onchange="setColorCookie()">
<option value="Select Color">Kies een kleur</option>
<option value="red">Rood</option>
<option value="orange">Oranje</option>
<option value="yellow">Geel</option>
<option value="green">Groen</option>
<option value="blue">Blauw</option>
<option value="purple">Paars</option>
<option value="pink">Roze</option>
<option value="brown">Bruin</option>
<option value="black">Zwart</option>
<option value="white">Wit</option>
</select>
</article>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function ()
{
if (document.cookie.length != 0) {
var nameValueArray = document.cookie.split("=");
document.getElementById("theme").value = nameValueArray[1];
document.getElementById("bg").style.backgroundColor = nameValueArray[1];
}
}
function setColorCookie()
{
var selectedValue = document.getElementById("theme").value;
if (selectedValue != "Select Color")
{
document.getElementById("bg").style.backgroundColor = selectedValue;
document.cookie = "color=" + selectedValue + ";expires=Fri, 5 2019 01:00:00 UTC;";
}
}
</script>
</div>

Take a look at w3schools:
function setCookie(cname, cvalue, exdays) {
var d = new Date();
d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
var expires = "expires="+d.toUTCString();
document.cookie = cname + "=" + cvalue + ";" + expires + ";path=/";
}
function getCookie(cname) {
var name = cname + "=";
var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for(var i = 0; i < ca.length; i++) {
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0) == ' ') {
c = c.substring(1);
}
if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) {
return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
}
}
return "";
}
function checkCookie() {
var user = getCookie("username");
if (user != "") {
alert("Welcome again " + user);
} else {
user = prompt("Please enter your name:", "");
if (user != "" && user != null) {
setCookie("username", user, 365);
}
}
}

Look here: MDN: Document.cookie or here: JavaScript Cookies.
Instead of var nameValueArray = document.cookie.split("=");, you should do const myCookies = document.cookie.split(";");. Because:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/cookie
allCookies = document.cookie;
In the code above allCookies is a string containing a
semicolon-separated list of all cookies (i.e. key=value pairs).
For example:
allCookies = document.cookie; // allCookies <= "cookie1=cow; cookie2 = pig; cookie3= chicken;"
cookiesArray = allCookies.split(';'); // cookiesArray[] <= ["cookie1=cow", "cookie2 = pig", "cookie3= chicken"]
One more suggestion:
Modify your code like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function () {
const allCookies = document.cookie;
const cookiesArray = allCookies.split(';');
alert('allCookies:' + allCookies);
alert('cookiesArray:' + JSON.stringify(cookiesArray));
if (document.cookie.length != 0) {
...
Re-run your program. When "onload()" triggers, you'll see two successive "alert" pop-ups.
This should help better explain what's going on.
Please - PLEASE - post back if you have questions; if there's something you "don't get". This isn't a difficult concept - I definitely want you to understand it.

You can use onclick event on radio buttons:
http://www.dyn-web.com/tutorials/forms/radio/onclick-onchange.php
You could modify your code to use Buttons instead RadioButtons.
It should resemble the following:
<button name="b1" onclick="f19_SetFormCookie('Baseball')">Baseball</button>
<button name="b2" onclick="f19_SetFormCookie('Basketball')">Basketball</button>
<button name="b3" onclick="f19_SetFormCookie('Soccer')">Soccer</button>
<button name="b4" onclick="f19_SetFormCookie('Fencing')">Fencing</button>
Then you'll have to modify SetFormCookie function to accept the argument - based on which cookie will be set.

save selector in cookie and get that cookie back

I want to ask the user in my webapp with a drop-down menu which school website they want to open, then save that in a cookie and automatically open that website next time they open the webapp. I'm not good at JS so please explain.
Thank's in advance.
<head>
<script>
<!-- Cookie script -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<select id="class">
<option value="Choose">Choose</option>
<option value="flah">School#1</option> <!-- Should redirect to site #1 -->
<option value="june">School#2</option> <!-- Should redirect to site #2 -->
</select>
<button type="submit">Välj</button>
</form>
</body>
Update:
<
form>
<select id="class">
<option value="Choose">Choose</option>
<option value="flah">School#1</option> <!-- Should redirect to site #1 -->
<option value="june">School#2</option> <!-- Should redirect to site #2 -->
</select>
<button type="submit" onclick="setCookie()">Välj</button>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function setCookie(cookiename, cookievalue, cookieexdays) {
var d = new Date();
d.setTime(d.getTime() + (cookieexdays*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = "expires="+d.toUTCString();
document.cookie = cookiename+ "=" + cookievalue+ "; " + expires;
}
function getCookie(cookiename) {
var name = cookiename+ "=";
var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for(var i=0; i<ca.length; i++) {
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1);
if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
}
return "";
}
function checkCookie() {
var school = getCookie("SelectedSchool");
if (school!= "") {
//redirect to user to link
alert("Welcome to the " + school);
} else {
user = prompt("Please choose your name:", "");
if (school != "" && school != null) {
setCookie("SelectedSchool", school, 365);
}
}
}
</script>

To create a cookie use:
document.cookie="key=value";
To get the value of the select use (example in jquery):
var val = $("#class").val();
Save that in the cookie.
Now next time the user logs in read the cookie using:
var x = document.cookie;
and redirect him with:
location.href = "link";
good luck

Try this, These are the JavaScript function which you can use to save, get or check cookie

Don't show this page anymore (JQUERY cookie)

I'm trying to implement cookies for my website, i just wanted to redirect users to a splash page and have a "remember me" checkbox there and once they checked off that and pressed enter, they will not see that page anymore.
So using COOKIE Plugin I can set a cookie for users and redirect them to the page, but I wasn't able to implement how to detect the remember me box..
$(function() {
var COOKIE_NAME = 'splash-page-cookie';
$go = $.cookie(COOKIE_NAME);
if ($go == null) {
$.cookie(COOKIE_NAME, 'test', { path: '/', expires: 6 });
window.location = "/splash.php"
}
else {
}
});
Anybody has done like this before? Or anybody have any similar idea to implement this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Solution #1 (With alert boxes): I came up with this but without the COOKIE Plugin. Hopefully you can get some use out of this. Mostly Pure JS with some JQuery to fancy it up a little.
Here is the DEMO.
Here's the code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<!-- JQuery -->
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(e) {
$('#remember').click(function() {
if (this.checked) {
$('#x').text("You're the Best!");
setCookie();
} else {
$('#x').text("Come on, You know you want to!");
}
});
});
function setCookie() {
user = prompt("Please enter your name:","");
if (user != "" && user != null) {
addCookie("username", user, 30);
}
}
function addCookie(cname,cvalue,exdays) {
var d = new Date();
d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = "expires=" + d.toGMTString();
document.cookie = cname+"="+cvalue+"; "+expires;
//window.location.href = "https://www.google.com"; // redirect after the prompt
}
function getCookie(cname) {
var name = cname + "=";
var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for(var i=0; i<ca.length; i++) {
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1);
if (c.indexOf(name) != -1) {
return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
}
}
return "";
}
function checkCookie() {
var user=getCookie("username");
if (user != "") {
alert("Welcome again " + user);
window.location.href = "https://www.google.com";
}
}
function goTo() {
window.location.href = "https://www.google.com";
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="checkCookie();">

Solution #2 (NO alert boxes): I came up with this as a second simplified solution by request which is more compatible with mobile (Chrome, etc.). Hopefully you can get some use out of this. Mostly Pure JS with some JQuery to fancy it up a little.

deleteAllCookies();
}
});
});
function deleteAllCookies() {
var cookies = document.cookie.split(";");
for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
var cookie = cookies[i];
var eqPos = cookie.indexOf("=");
var name = eqPos > -1 ? cookie.substr(0, eqPos) : cookie;
document.cookie = name + "=;expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT";
}
}
function addCookie(exdays) {
var d = new Date();
d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = "expires=" + d.toGMTString();
document.cookie = expires;
}
