Question

I currently have the following:

$ul.append('<li>' + 
'<a href="setlocale.aspx?returnURL=default.aspx&localesetting=' + 
this.slice(0) + '">' + this.slice(3) + '</a>');

Lets say my URL ends with: /c-577-camping.aspx

How do I use this value in my jquery? it should change default.aspx to c-577-camping.aspx and if the website is www.site.com/c-517-cookers.aspx then it should append:

http://www.site.com/c-517-cookers.aspx?setlocale.aspx?returnURL=c-517-cookers.aspx&localesetting=fr-FR

Answer 1

To get the path, you can use window.location.pathname:

$(document).ready(function() {
  var pathname = window.location.pathname;

  $ul.append('<li>' + '<a href="setlocale.aspx?returnURL=' + pathname + '&localesetting=' + this.slice(0) + '">' + this.slice(3) + '</a>');
});
