Language Switch with Javascript

[rozster]

Hi all,

Kinda new and JS, anyone know how I can created a generic script that would change a pagename-e.html to pagename-f.html

The menu is in an SSI and I want to be able to change language on the fly for that specific page.

Anyone got any ideas or easy examples?

Thanks

<script>
function changelang(val) {
var cur = window.location;
cur = cur.split(".html");
var newlocation = cur[0];
newlocation = newlocation.substr(0, cur[0].length-1)+val+".html";
window.location = newlocation;
}
</script>
<select id="language" name="language" onchange="changelang(this.value)">
<option value="">Select Language</option>
<option value="e">English</option>
<option value="f">French</option>
</select>
 

Heres a generic example I made up for you

This will only work if the current location has -e -f or -any letter

we don't normally give away scripts without an effort of the user but this one was pretty simple and i hope you look through the code and learn how it works it will help you in the future.. ask any questions about the code you don't understand.
