Question

I am trying to run the jquery with no success:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
     var pathname = window.location.pathname;
     var a = pathname.split('/');
     if (a[1]^ = "login" || a[1] == "") {
         $("#product").css("margin-left", "0px");
     } elseif (a[1] == "admin.aspx") {
         $(".pnlBreadcrumb").css("margin-left", "10px");
     }
});
</script>

Can any one assist me , where I am getting it wrong

Thanks

Answer 1

^ is a bitwise xor-operator.

• Use the indexOf method, which returns the position of the found string.
• Use else if instead of elseif.

Note: You do not have to split the location.pathname property at /, since the path will always start with /. Simply include the slash in the code.

Code:

$(function() {
    var pathname = location.pathname;

    if (pathname.indexOf('/login') === 0 || pathname === '/') {
        $("#product").css("margin-left", "0");
    } else if (pathname === "/admin.aspx") {
        $(".pnlBreadcrumb").css("margin-left", "10px");
    }
});

PS. This issue is caused by a bad understanding of JavaScript. I strongly recommend to learn JavaScript before using jQuery.
