Url passing and redirect

**Olirav** · 05-02-2010 01:29 PM

Here's the situation, am changing a website to a new address using htacces redirect 301 / NEWADRESS. This passes the browser to a redirect notice page on the new site, the page is a slightly modified version of Cool Redirect (http://www.codehouse.com/javascript/...cool_redirect/).
When the url is passed on the page (dynamic) is also passed on, so the url looks like newsite.com/redirected.html?page2
The question is how do I isolate that part of the url, and pass that part of the url to the redirect coding.

Code:

var pageName = location.search.substring(1);

One question, how would I intergrate the "var pageName" into the location -
<body onload='coolRedirect("http://examplesite.com/")'>

Sorry Complete Newbie to Javascript

Give an example of the from - to urls

This is the text on redirect.html, and it is read by an external .js file.
<body onload='coolRedirect("http://example.com/")'>

The user might end up on the page like
oldsite.com/?page1
or
oldsite.com/index.php?page2So how do i pass the ?page onto the body onload tag.

Thanks again

Code:

<body onload='coolRedirect("http://example.com/"+location.search.substring)'>

Sorry think I must have got something wrong.
Heres the redirect page script

<script src="/coolRedirect.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageName = location.search.substring(1);
</script>
</head>
<body onload='coolRedirect("http://example.com/"+location.search.substring)'>

But when ever the redirect happens I get taken to a 404 error page by htaccess. And the refer shows it comes straight from the redirect page.

1. do you want to use coolRedirect?

2. to which page do you want to redirect to?

Only reason im using cool redirect is because it came up quick on google and it was easy enouth to use, and you get a nice simple countdown on the page. I dont mind changing if you know of a easier one to use.
The page I want to link to is index.php?pageinurl, or example.com/?page1 as they both work.
If ther is no ?page in the redirect it passes the user straight to the homepage this works.
