Question

Can anyone see where I going wrong here, I’m trying to get the last characters after the ?p= in a link and put in a varaible, but the code I’m using returns /.

My code is:

 $("#dvPartial").on('click', '.dvPagerCities a', function (event) {
        alert('click detected');
        var city = ($('input#hdnCountry').val());
        alert(city);
        var link = $('a').attr('href');
        //var getEqualPosition = link.indexOf('?p='); //Get the position of '='
        var getEqualPosition = link.indexOf('='); //Get the position of '='
        var number = link.substring(getEqualPosition + 1); //Split the string and get the number.

My link is

<a href="/Weather/Index/Australia?p=2">»</a>

I think what is happening is its picking up the 1st = .

My theory is this.

1) Detect the click event

2) Get the link that caused the event

3) Extract the value of p,

p can be 1 diget, 2 digets or 3 digets.

Any help would be appreciated, as it seems no sooner do I solve 1 problem then another arises.

Thanks

Assuming that p is the only parameter in the URL you can simply split by the = sign:

$("#dvPartial").on('click', '.dvPagerCities a', function (event) {
    var city = $('input#hdnCountry').val();
    var number = $(this).attr('href').split('=')[1];
});
