page refresh with url params

[dmorand]

Ok, I'm very very new to javascript and am trying to use it with some coldfusion I'm doing.

I'm trying to have a page refresh when a user changes a selection in a drop down list.

Here is the code I have in my HEAD section:

function readDateTime(){
    var n = datetimeFrm.ed_dt.selectedIndex; //get selected index value
    var val = datetimeFrm.ed_dt[n].text; //get selected value
    alert('You entered: ' + val);
    //window.location.reload();
    datetimeFrm.testingvalues.value = val;
    alert(datetimeFrm.testingvalues.value);
 
}
</script>
 

I have it setup to reload, but I want to pass the "val" in the url.
I want it to be http://www...com?datetime=val
What syntax do I need to use to load a page so I can pass these values?

try to use:

window.location.href = window.location.href + '?datetime=' + val;

instead of reload ...
