I have a seemingly simple question, but can't find the answer. I have a webpage, which may have resulted from a POST request and may have an anchor (#) in the URL. I want to reload this page as a GET request in JavaScript. So it's similar to this question, but I actually want to avoid the POST, not just the warning about it.
So, for example, if the page resulted from a POST request to "http://server/do/some?thing#" I want to reload the URL "http://server/do/some?thing" as a GET. If I try
window.location.reload(true);
that causes IE to try a POST. If I instead do:
window.location = window.location.href;
this does nothing when the URL has an anchor. Do I really need to do string manipulation myself to get rid of the "#whatever" or is there an easier, "better" way to do this?
The best I've come up with so far is:
function reloadAsGet()
{
var loc = window.location;
window.location = loc.protocol + '//' + loc.host + loc.pathname + loc.search;
}
Try the following:
location.replace(location.href)
You can try this
location=location.href

In my code, I'm assigning the following:
window.location.href = "www.example.com/test";
But when the page actually loads, the browser URL is www.example.com/test/www.example.com/test. I'm not appending anything to the URL, and I'm not sure how its appending the URL again.
I think you're missing the "http" or "https" part. Have you tried the following?
window.location.href = "https://www.example.com/test";
or
window.location.href = "http://www.example.com/test";
Because you forgot the protocol. If you omit the protocol, window.location.href thinks you are trying to access a folder with the name of www.example.com, relative to the page you are currently on.
window.location.href="http://www.example.com/test/" will ensure that you access the external website www.example.com.
Hope this helps! :)
Check the way you are constructing the url, sometimes we miss the host, or enter the incorrect path
A safe way to change the URl is by making changes in the exisiting URL
first get the existing URL by
let exisitingURl = window.location.href;
now manipulate this url, for eg
exisitingURL = exisitingURL.replace('/auth', '/gateway');
now go to the url by
window.location.href = existingURL;
I have this code :
if($('#category').val() == 4){
console.log("http://"+window.location.hostname+'/dailyGift?id_event='+$( "#sub-category" ).val()+'?week_id='+$('#week_id').val()+'?year_id='+$('#year_id').val());
window.location = "http://"+window.location.hostname+'/dailyGift?id_event='+$( "#sub-category" ).val()+'?week_id='+$('#week_id').val()+'?year_id='+$('#year_id').val();
}
In the console I have
http://myWebsite.dev/dailyGift?id_event=41?week_id=44?year_id=2016.
When I access directly works without problems, but jQuery does not make this redirect and I don't understand where is the problem.
You need to change all the ? with & except the first one
if($('#category').val() == 4){
console.log("http://"+window.location.hostname+'/dailyGift?id_event='+$( "#sub-category" ).val()+'&week_id='+$('#week_id').val()+'&year_id='+$('#year_id').val());
}
Please replace all "?" with "&", Correct URL would be :-
http://myWebsite.dev/dailyGift?id_event=41&week_id=44&year_id=2016
Also it would be good if you encrypt ids for security purpose.
You say that you want to redirect to a link but you're merely changing the location.href value which is equivalent to clicking a link.
Location.replace() will load the new resource in place of the current one. The current page will not be added to the session history so it will not be possible to return to it using the back button.
I've also cleaned up the use of " and ' in the url string to make it cleaner.
if ($('#category').val() == 4){
var url = "http://"+window.location.hostname+"/dailyGift?id_event="+$('#sub-category').val()+"&week_id="+$('#week_id').val()+"&year_id="+$('#year_id').val();
console.log(url);
window.location.replace(url);
}
I'm attempting to remove a url parameter status from the url but in the following alert, the parameter is still there.
var addressurl = location.href.replace(separator + "status=([^&]$|[^&]*)/i", "");
alert(addressurl);
location.href= addressurl;
How do i solve?
You are confusing regex with strings.
It should be:
var addressurl = location.href.replace(separator, '').replace(/status=([^&]$|[^&]*)/i", "");
Javascript context in web pages are to the page you are working on.
When you reload, redirect or move to any other page, javascript changes done in previous page will not be there. This has to be handled from server side.
Refresh repeats the last request to the server, which is going to ignore your javascript changes. Instead navigate to the new url with window.location = addressurl;
I am trying to implement what seems to be very simple JavaScript redirection, via the following rudimentary command:
window.location.href = "http://www.somesite.com";
So far so good, it works. I also can do it via the following method:
location.replace("http://www.somesite.com");
No problem here, it works again! The problem comes when I loose the protocol out of the string:
window.location.href = "www.somesite.com";
OR:
location.replace("www.somesite.com");
It just appends the new location to the current url:
www.currentsite.com/www.somesite.com
Of cause, that's not what I want. Is there any way to force the redirect?
One way is to use protocol-relative url like this:
window.location = "//www.somesite.com";
Or
window.location = "//somesite.com";
This way, it would redirect and browser itself will take care of figuring out protocol part eg http or https
Working Example
The protocol is required.
How else would the browser know whether
location.replace("mysite.pl");
was going to a Polish website or a Perl script on the current website?
You could do something like this to add http:// to the URL if it's not already there... although I can't think of a reason for not just including it yourself. Why complicate things?
function redirect(url) {
if(url.substr(4) != "http")
url = "http://" + url;
window.location.href = url;
}
redirect("www.google.com")
I am trying to redirect to a different page in IE9 (9.0.3).
When I try to get/set document.location, or document.location.href, or window.location/window.location.href, I'm unable to do so. It fails without giving any errors.
I've tried to check whether the document and windows objects are set, and they are, so I have no idea why the location object is "missing".
I tried getting the document.URL and that works fine, but it's read-only.
Anyone know what the problem is or how to achieve this in a cross-browser way?
I was also experiencing the same problem but found that adding
window.event.returnValue = false;
above line in the javascript before the redirection resolved the problem.

Apparently it's a caching bug, you can solve it by appending a timestamp to the destination URL (that is, using a "unique" URL every time).
Perhaps your IE9 has some security restrictions in place that prevent JavaScript from directing URL's. window.location.href = "" should work normally on IE9.
Cache may be the reason, try:
location.href='something.php?tmp=' + Date.parse(new Date())
Hope it helps
You should use an absolute URL:
var url = '/section/page/';
var host = window.location.hostname;
window.location = 'http://' + host + url;
Where url is the relative path to your page.
