Passing variable in Javascript

Question

What is wrong with this code?

<script type="text/javascript">
 var urlquery = location.href;
 var urlparts = urlquery.split('='); 
 var urlplan = (urlparts[1]); 
 $(document).ready(function() {
 $('#LDF a').click(function() { 
 $.ajax({
 url: 'src/ldf_dpd_list.php?search-n=urlplan',
 success: function (data) {
 $('#dpd').html(data);
 }
 });
 });
 });

Hi I am new to javascript and Ajax and trying to pass the variable urlplan, what is the correct way to pass the variable.

• alex: Are you trying to bold that variable or is your code like that?

Answer 1

It looks like the following should do it:

var urlparts = urlquery.split('='); 
var urlplan = urlparts[1];
// ...
$.ajax({
 url: 'src/ldf_dpd_list.php?search-n=' + urlplan,
 success: function (data) {
 // ...
 }
});

Answer 2

url: "src/ldf_dpd_list.php?search-n="+urlplan,

for more than one variable

url: "src/ldf_dpd_list.php?search-n="+urlplan+"&xyz="+variablName,

This is a snippet from my easyXDM library

var _query = (function(){
 var query = {}, pair, search = location.search.substring(1).split("&"), i = search.length;
 while (i--) {
 pair = search[i].split("=");
 query[pair[0]] = pair[1];
 }
 return query;
}());

Use it like this

alert(_query["urlplan"]);

or

alert(_query.urlplan);
