Here's a sticky Javascript problem...

vidyaishaya · 26-Oct-2004, 06:17 PM #1

I have an HTML page which needs the following code:

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/comments.php">
</script>

Yes, I'm using PHP to output Javascript. Hey! It works.
I do it all the time.

But how can I pass the current page URL to the PHP script?
Something like:
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/comments.php?page=location.href">
(which doesn't work, of course.)

I can use location.href WITHIN the javascript code, such as:

<script language="JavaScript">
document.write ("<a href=\"www.mydomain.com/comments.php?this="+location.href)
document.write ("\">")
</script>

BUT how do I use it in the Javascript header line??

Thanks

Use onLoad trigger of body tag (correct me if I use wrong method, I'm not sure about document.location method, just want to redirect; change url; You know what I mean):
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function runAnother(){
document.location="http://www.mydomain.com/comments.php?page=" + location.href;
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="runAnother();">
</body>

OR:

<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
document.location="http://www.mydomain.com/comments.php?page=" + location.href;
</script>
</body>

Actually,

<script language="JavaScript">
document.location="http://www.mydomain.com/comments.php?page=" + location.href;
</script>

will jump to the comments.php page.

That's not what I wanted. I wanted HTML output
in the middle of the page I am on.

Here's what I discovered using Google. This will
do the trick:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<script src='http://localhost/rob/comments.php?this="+location.href);
document.write("'><\/script>");
</script>

Thanks,
