Edit…

Someone suggested I do it differently… If I were to use .htaccess, would this work?

RewriteRule ^chapter http://mysite.com/chapter/1

I’m just using basic javascript here, but I wanted to find out if there’s a way to add it to my jquery file so that the redirection will happen if the path matches something specific?

Right now, I’m using:

<script type="text/javascript">window.location.replace("/chapter/1");</script>

I’d like that to only occur if the user goes to http://mysite.com/chapter.

I’m not altogether clear on how to get the path using jquery and do a pattern match?

    jQuery is a Javascript library which helps you manipulate DOM elements.
    Since you’re not manipulating DOM elements, jQuery won’t do you any good.

    You can use the location.href property:

    if (location.href === '...')
    location.replace("/chapter/1");

    Or,

    if (/regex pattern/.test(location.href))
    location.replace("/chapter/1");

    However, you should probably do this on the server instead.
