How do you put a link within JAVA

I am after linking .../page1/index.html to page1 below and similar to page2

 
var before="page1"
var current="page2"

Cheers

Changed title so it says "JavaScript" instead of "JAVA".

Not really sure how you want to link the pages.
Post your script and explain a little clearer for a better answer.

Code: Select all

 
<script>
//change the text below to reflect your own,
var before="Update required"
var current="Update is now required"
var montharray=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
function countdown(yr,m,d){
var today=new Date()
var todayy=today.getYear()
if (todayy < 1000)
todayy+=1900
var todaym=today.getMonth()
var todayd=today.getDate()
var todaystring=montharray[todaym]+" "+todayd+", "+todayy
var futurestring=montharray[m-1]+" "+d+", "+yr
var difference=(Math.round((Date.parse(futurestring)-Date.parse(todaystring))/(24*60*60*1000))*1)
if (difference==0)
document.write(current)
else if (difference>0)
document.write("Only "+difference+" days until "+before)
}
//enter the count down date using the format year/month/day
countdown(200,2,14)
</script>

var before="Update required" (when Update required is shown it is a link to a another page)
var current="Update is now required" (when Update is now required is shown it is a link to a another page)

the above text to be links "update required" one link then when time runs out the "update is now required" required another link.

Does that make a little more sence

When you want to change the current page with javascript you just change the windows loacation..

Code: Select all

// I want to go to google

window.location.href = 'http://www.google.com';

The links will work with relative URLS as well so

window.location.href = 'page.html';

Will work just as well.

In you script if you need to change the page based on some even you just set the variables before and current to the URL's you want and change the page like

Code: Select all

if (something == 'nothing')
   location.href = before;
else
   location.href = current;

Cant get it to work.

var before="Update required"

var current="Update is now required"

If we say the URLs are: (before)yahoo.com and (current)google.com

Rakuli · #9 Jan 29th, 2008, 08:46

If you're linking to another domain you need to include the whole URL.. eg protocol/server/path/query

var before = 'http://www.yahoo.com';
var current = 'http://www.google.com';

R8515198 · #10 Jan 29th, 2008, 08:49

When I do the above it just shows the URL and it is not a link?

Rakuli · #11 Jan 29th, 2008, 09:30

Oh!.. You don't want to send the page to a different URL, you actuall want to write an <a></a> link to the page... I misunderstood.

You would just need to change

var before = '<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo.com</a>';
var current = '<a href="http://www.google.com">Google.com</a>';

You are a genius,

That has just completed a very big part of my project, when looking at it - it was simple but when you stare at hte code for so long ur mind goes blank.

I appriciate the help RAKULI, I owe you a beer.

That doesn't look like the quality beer Rakuli would be after!

lol
