Hello - I'm a relative newbie when it comes to dynamic content, and can't figure out how to make this work. I"m writing a list of social bookmarking links so visitors to the site can bookmark any page on the site. I want this a piece of code to be re-used on all pages of the site, so i want to be able to pull in the current page URL into the href string.
For example:
http://www.blinklist.com/index.php?action=Blink/addblink.php&Description=&Url=URLHERE&Title=TITLEHERE"
how can i get URLHERE to fill in the current page URL and TITLEHERE to be the page title?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

For the URL, you could use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].
For the TItle, I would assume that you are using a variable to specify the page title on each page (since I would assume you are using 1 header file that you are including on every page), so you can just output the variable you are using for the Title. -
In JavaScript, the href is accessed using... yourvar=location.href
You can pluck out the path and hash or query portions quite easily.
The document <title> is, wait for it, yourvar=document.title -
Thanks very much for responding - I understand the DOM references, just not sure how to write that into the HTML? can you please show me an example of how to use location.href?
Thanks! -
Hi
for example:
<button onclick="alert(location.href)">click me!</a>
You may use location.href with document.getElementById or other methods to dynamic change any element in DOM tree.
For the next example look on this code:
<p id="example">
This is some content
</p><br />
<button onclick="document.getElementById('example').innerText=location.href">Click me!</button>
Sorry for my english ;-) -
I would presume that ...
<script>
var URLHERE,TITLEHERE,YOURSTRING;
URLHERE=location.href;
TITLEHERE=document.title;
YOURSTRING="http://www.blinklist.com/index.php?action=Blink/addblink.php&Description=&Url="+URLHERE+"&Title="+TITLEHERE;
</script>
Is that it?
