Change The QueryString 2

[arpan]

Is it possible to change the querystring of a URL by, say, clicking a radio button or any other Form elemnt using JavaScript? For eg. an HTML Form has 2 related radio buttons - 'admin' & 'nonadmin'. Suppose a user is visiting the page

http://www.abcd.com?status=admin.

Now if the user clicks the 'nonadmin' radio button, the querystring (& of course the URL!!) should change to

http://www.abcd.com?status=nonadmin.

Can this be accomplished using JavaScript?

Thanks,

Arpan

yes:

location.href = "

http://www.abcd.com?status=admin";

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your response. It indeed turned out to be a helpful one. Another question I would like to ask you is as you must be aware of, querystrings are nothing but 'name-value pairs'. For eg. (just in case if you are not aware of the name-value pair), if the URL is

http://www.abcd.com?status=admin

then 'status' is the name where as 'admin' is the value. Now using JavaScript is it possible to collect each & every name-value pair? For eg. if the URL is

http://www.abcd.com?status=admin&login=arpan&id=34

I want JavaScript should collect each & every name-value pair so that when the nonadmin radio button is clicked, the URL can be changed to

http://www.abcd.com?status=nonadmin&login=arpan&id=34

This is because when the nonadmin radio button is clicked, I have to take the rest of the querystring other than status=admin into consideration so that except for the name 'status' in the querystring, the rest of the querystring remains as it is & does not change. If I don't take into consideration the rest of the querystring, clicking the nonadmin radio button will change the URL to

http://www.abcd.com?status=nonadmin

& thus the rest of the querystring (i.e. login=arpan&id=34) will be neglected which is what I don't want. Also please note that the entire querystring is generated dynamically for which I am using ASP i.e. the value of the name 'login' in the querystring can be anything other than arpan & same is the case with the name 'id' in the querysting.

Thanks once again for your help & co-operation,

Regards,

Arpan

Hi Arpan,
You can use given below function to get the names/value pair of the queryString.
Hope it will help.

var names = new Array();
var values = new Array();
function value_pair()
{
//var qryString = "

http://www.abcd.com?status=nonadmin&login=arpan&id=34";

var qryTemp = qryString.substr(qryString.indexOf("?&quot+1);
var name_value = qryTemp.split("&"

for (var cntr=0; cntr < name_value.length ; cntr++)
{
names[cntr] = name_value[cntr].substr(0,name_value[cntr].indexOf(&quot;=&quot);
values[cntr]= name_value[cntr].substr(name_value[cntr].indexOf(&quot;=&quot+1);
}
