modify URL and show the document with the new URL

[manuelgk]

Hello again!, In my investigation about know JS, I have a question about URL, I want to catch the URL and add a string like this: www.url.com?string.
I alredy do this and it work correctly, but when I try to load the page, in the navigator appear again the originally URL. So my question is how can I pass that URL to the navigator bar and show the document?, this is my code:

  <script type="text/javascript">
 
      window.onload=function() {
              els=document.body.getElementsByTagName('*');
                for(c=0;c<els.length;c++){
                  els[c].onclick=function(){
                     getOnclicks(this);
                   }
                 }
             }
 
             function getOnclicks(el) {
             cadena=new String("?COLAB_CLICK=YES");
                      if (el.tagName=="A") alert(el.getAttribute('href')+cadena);
             }
     </script>

as you can see, I put the string next to the href but it can be seen in the alert message and not in the navigator bar (directions bar).
Thanks everybody

Heya, manuelgk.

To redirect to a new URL, set window.location.href.

Note that this will redirect the browser (send a new page request).

[manuelgk]

thanks for your advice, but the problem here is with window.location.href I need to set the url, as you see in my code, the parameter pass taking the urls from the html code's part (links), so I don't know if there is a posibility to add to the URL the string save in the cadena variable, in other words, I want to load the page and then add my variable like this:

www.uv.mx?COLAB_CLICK=YES

This event or url must appear in the direction bar of the navigator. The navigator I use is Firefox
Kind regards

Heya, manuelgk.

You'd be better off setting a cookie or using AJAX.

[manuelgk]

OK, and how can AJAX help me with this new problem? I mean, do you have an AJAX code that do this?
If any one else have a suggestion(s) please let me know it!!!
Thanks for respond

Kind regards

[manuelgk]

ok I solve my problem, the only thing that I need to do is put this instead of the alert.

el.href=el.href + cadena;

Thanks for your suggestions
