Choose code to run based on incoming URL

Howard Kaikow

Can I use a bookmark to selectively choose the code to be run?

For example. Suppose we have the following in an HTML file:

<html>

<head>

<script language="JavaS cript"></script>

<noscript>

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="3;url= HowardKaikowSer vices.html">

</noscript>

</head>

</html>

And hklinks.html has:

<html>

<head>

<a name="A"><scrip t language="JavaS cript"></script></a>

<a name="B"><scrip t language="JavaS cript"></script></a>

<noscript>

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="3;url= index.html">

</noscript>

</head>

</html>

I want to choose which javascript to run based on the incoming link.

I tried onload.target to choose, but I think I screwed up the sintax.

How about the following instead?

location.href = "HKlinks.html?B ";

Since we're only talking about redirection, why not do it the proper way.

Because my ISP limits what we can do and even then discourages server side
stuff.

I could use a custom 404 file, but I want to try javascript first.

How do I modify the code to handle both ? and # as bookmark delimiters?

For example, in:
<html>
<head>
<p><a href="HKlinks.h tml?B">B?</a></p>
<p><a href="HKlinks.h tml?A">A?</a></p>
<p><a href="HKlinks.h tml#B">B#</a></p>
<p><a href="HKlinks.h tml#A">A#</a></p>
</head>
</html>

Only the links using ? work.
I commonly see # used instead f ? to separate the bookmark.
What modifications are needed in the following HKlinks.html?
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="3;url= index.html">

First, you should no longer use " within <script> tags.

Second, your <a> tags go inside the <body> not the <head> section.

Thirdly, you have a solution with "?" why try to use "#"?

"#" are used for bookmarks (as you know).

"?" indicates a QueryString which can be interrogated by the called page.

Because when I gove somebody a URL, I usually give it as a web page and,
maybe, a bookmark on that web page, which is also how a lot of folkes are
used to seeing a URL.

I'll have no control whether they use a ? or a #.
Here's what I have in the .js file, but the part about the # is doing what I
need.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript", SRC ="links.js"> </script>
<noscript>
<HR>
<A href="index.htm l">The URL you used requires the use of JavaScript. If you
wish to use the URL,
please enable support for Javascript in your browser.
You will shortly be taken to http://www.standards.com/index.html, or you can
click here now.</A>
<HR>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url= index.html">
</noscript>
</head>
</html>

The following is currently the link.js file.

var loc=location.se arch.toUpperCas e();
if((loc=="?A")| |(loc=="#A")){
location.href=" HowardKaikow.ht ml";
}
else if((loc=="?B")| |(loc=="#B")){
location.href=" HowardKaikowSer vices.html";
}
else{
alert(location. href + " is not a valid URL.\n" +
"You will be taken to http://www.standards.c om/index.html.");
location.href=" index.html";
}

First, you can change
if((loc=="?A")| |(loc=="#A")){
to
if(loc=="?A"||l oc=="#A"){
if you want.

Second, what do you mean that you "... have no control whether they use a ?
or a #" after you state "... when I gove [sic] somebody a URL". If you give
them a URL it has what ever suffix you include; such as "?A".

Thirdly, it still isn't clear what your really trying to accomplish (big
picture).

It isn't clear why you need to use "#"; is it that you want to jump "into" a
page and not just "to" a page?
