Java script question

[den68]

anyone know how to do multiple redirects?

I've managed to get a single redirect to work using location.replace.

I want to do redirects to different pages depending on what URL you are coming from.

any clues?

[Hydrobond]

If you know which URL they are coming from, then just use a nested if-else structure.

I think it would go something like this

Code:

if(history.previous() == "http://www.url1.com")
{
        location.replace("http://www.forward1.com")
}
else if(history.previous() == "http://www.url2.com")
{
        location.replace("http://www.forward2.com")
}
else
{
        location.replace("http://www.forward_default.com")
}

I gave it a shot but it didn't seem to work. it just flipped the 2 url's back and forth without stopping.

[Hydrobond]

Huh???

Is the forwarding address the page itself?

I'll try that out in a few minutes, when I get the time.

[den68]

maybe I just put it in the wrong spot. does it go in the head tag or prior to it?

the url you have as _default is the page itself, correct?

[den68]

here's the link:

http://www.cmgestore.com

can you tell what's wrong?

[St0rmTK421]

location.replace, that's a new one.  I've always used

window.location="http://www.yourdomain.com/";

but I assume both work.

Looking at the code you start out with

<script language="JavaScript">
{
if(history.previous() == "http://www.energizerbunnystore.com")
}

Those two extra brackets don't need to be in there.  Just post the code in the same format that hydrobond posted inbetween the <script language="javascript"> and </script> tags.

Also, after playing around, it seems like my browser likes "document.referrer" instead of "history.previous() ".

[Hydrobond]

history.previous should have worked, but for some reason I couldn't get it to come back with anything but "undefined."  Referrer worked.
This should work.  
Try it out
Won't let me post the code

w00t, quadruple digit post count!

[den68]

okay, now what did I do wrong?

http://www.cmgestore.com/

[Hydrobond]

You can't have the destination be the same as the source page.  You are forwarding the browser to the page you are currently on, which puts it into that loop.\

Change the URL in the ELSE statement to something like "http://www.cmgestore.com/index2.html"

[Hydrobond]

Or better yet, if you want to stay on that page unless they are coming from the energizer page then you can take out the entire else statement.  (Make sure you remove everything in the {} brackets too.)

[Hydrobond]

Oh, you only need the javascript on one of the pages, no need to the javascript on the destination page.

[den68]

okay, that broke the loop but now the links both just got to that main2 page.

[den68]

the energizer and cmgestore urls are both alias's that point to same IP address. could that be the problem?

[Hydrobond]

Ok, I looked at the code for www.energizerbunnystore.com and from what i can tell you won't need the IF statement there at all if all you want to do is send them directly to www.energizerbunnystore.com/eng2/

Then I would assume you can do away with the script on www.cmgestore.com altogether.

I'm not 100% sure what you are trying to accomplish, can you explain in what you are trying to do with all this?
