Question

I have

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://doamin.com/js/whatever.js?ref=images"></script>

Note the ref=images at the end of the url. My questions is, how do i get the ref variable from the url and use it inside this same js file.

Answer 1

If whatever.js is a just js file, you can’t.

If it is just a request uri and using the server side script to output the javascript content, you can get the variable from the get parameter.

If you want to pass the variable to the whatever.js, you can just define the variable before include whatever.js and then use the variable in whatever.js.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--// 
  ref = 'images';
//-->
</script>
