I am working with a SAAS CMS and there is no variable for me

  • 0

I am working with a SAAS CMS and there is no variable for me to grab if I am on a section landing page or a paginated page. I need to be able to hide a div if I am on a page that contains "?page=" in the URL. Is there any successful way to do this with jQuery? I have tried several solutions offered up on SO, but none of the solutions I have tried works for my situation.

Just adding another note here. URLs out of the CMS that need to be targeted are looking like this foo?page= or bar?page= so I am just trying to detect the ?page= portion and hide the div if that is present. Thanks!

Have tried:

$(document).ready( function() {
if (/\/?page=\//.test(window.location)) {
    $('#collection-description').hide();
    }
 });

and

$(document).ready( function() {
       if ($('a[href*=page']).size() > 0) {
      $('#collection-description').hide(); 
   }
});

Any other directions to try would be awesome. Thanks!

    Try taking a look at these pages:

    Get current URL in JavaScript?

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.location

    You should be able to to use window.location.search to break out the elements you need. All major browsers should support this, though I haven’t tested them myself.

    So you could try something like this for the detection:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html>
  <head>
  <title></title>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.2.min.js"></script>

  <script type="text/javascript">
  function matchSearchLocation(key) {
     var list = window.location.search.split("&");

     for (var i=0;i<list.length;i++) {
       var item = list[i].split("=")[0];
       if (i === 0) 
         item = item.substr(1,item.length - 1);

       if (item === key) return true;
     }
    return false;
  }

  $(document).ready(function(){
    if (matchSearchLocation("page"))
      $(".container").hide();    
    else
      $(".container").show();
  })

  </script>

  <style type="text/css">
    .container {
      background-color:#000;
      width:100px;
      height:100px;
    }
  </style>
  </head>
  <body>
   <div class="container">
   </div>
  </body>
</html>
