Javascript send

[Dan]

Hi,

Is there a way to send information via javascript by redirecting to a
page that contains frames? The information that will have to be sent
will be the page name of the original page before the redirect. Once
the information has been sent via the redirect this will happen: One
of the frames will pick up the sent information and redirect to the
proper page sent with the information. The object of this is to see if
a page is part of a parent page and then if it is not it will redirect
to the parent page, where one of the child pages will redirect to the
original page. So in summary, if a page is not part of a parent page,
the script will make it. If anyone else sees a better way to do this
please tell me.

<script type="text/javascript">
var o;
if ( (o = top)
&& (o = o.frames)
&& (o = o.bob)
&& (o = o.document)
&& (o = o.title)
&& o == "test"
){
document.write( "yes")
} else {
document.locati on.href = "New Text Document.php "
}
</script>

What part of it was unclear so that you posted the same bad stuff again?

I am sorry to cause you so much frustration because of me. :) What I
want is to find the url of the page using javascript (or php if it is
possible). This information will then have to be propagated through
the url. Then I want to make sure the information only goes once. For
example, since my end page will contain frames I need it to delete the
information out of the page once it is used. Is this possible?

Also, I would like to know how to use the information from the url.
Sorry for my ignorance :(

You can send data to the following page by appending a '?' character
after the URL than your data, e.g.:

<a href="page2.htm l?hereIsTheSent Data"
alt="">Click to send data</a>

Then in page2.html you get the data by:

var sentData = location.search ;

and 'sendData' will contain the string '?hereIsTheSent Data'. Use a
substring or regular expression to trim the leading '?' and there's your
data.

You can prepare the string for safe transmission using encodeURI, then
get back the original string in page2.html using decodeURI.

a trivial example (in a page called say 'test.html'):

<a href="test.html " alt=""
onclick="modURI (this, prompt('Enter some text',''));"Click to send data</a>

<script type="text/javascript">

function modURI(a, txt){
if (window.encodeU RI){
a.href += encodeURI('?' + txt);
} else if (window.escape) {
a.href = '?' + escape(txt);
}
}

if (window.decodeU RI){
alert('The text you sent was'
+ decodeURI(locat ion.search).sub string(1));
} else if (window.unescap e){
alert('The text you sent was'
+ unescape(locati on.search).subs tring(1));
}

</script>

It will display a little neater if the following is used:

if (window.decodeU RI){
alert('The text you sent was:\n'
+ decodeURI(locat ion.search).sub string(1));
} else if (window.unescap e){
alert('The text you sent was:\n'
+ unescape(locati on.search).subs tring(1));
}
