Increment URL Parameter

[willhaney]

If a page such as

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?page=1&qid=1319898

is displayed and the following JavaScript is placed in the url the next thread shows:

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?page=1&qid=1319899

1319898 --> 1319899

Question: how can I make the JavaScript a shortcut in my links so that I may increment through the threads with a click?

JavaScript to increment url:
javascript:var u=document.location.href;var p=u.lastIndexOf("=");if(p!=-1){var n=u.substr(p+1);n++;document.location.href=u.substr(0,p+1)+n;}

If you are using IE, create a bookmark to any page. Name it "Next Thread" or something. Then right-click on the bookmark and go to "Properties". Change the url to the javascript above. You'll get a security warning - click ok.

When the script is placed into the Address of the browser (ie) it works fine, incrementing the last parameter of the URL and returning the next page.

When the script is saved to a file then referenced with a shortcut an error is returned:
