location.search not working.

[slatet]

We have taken over another company's project. They used frames. I am trying to update the URL so that I may eventually pass it to a new page.

This is the URL that is in the browser:

http://localhost/tms/Reports.aspx?TargetPage=StatusReport.aspx?Filter=None&Sort=None

When I do this:

var urlloc = location.search;

I only get:

?Filter=None

The Sort value is lost. Does anyone know why?

Thanks in advance

Hi-


you need to type: location.search.substr(1) and anything after the ? will fill your variable

Thanks, but I am still only getting

?Filter=None

Change that. Using

var urlloc = location.search.substr(1);

I get

Filter=None

The browser probably thinks that &Sort is a parameter of Reports.aspx instead of StatusReport.aspx. Escape your parameter values to write your URL like this instead:

[URL unfurl="true"]http://localhost/tms/Reports.aspx?TargetPage=StatusReport.aspx%3FFilter%3DNone%26Sort%3DNone[/URL]

That appears to have done it. I now get

?Filter=None&Sort=None

THANKS!
