Question

let’s say I am on this page:

http://localhost:4444/index.html?user=test

my index.html page has a link like this:

<a href='help.html'>help</a> 

If I click on it the browser takes me there and my url changes it to this:

http://localhost:4444/help.html

But what I wish it had happened is that I would not lose the ‘search query’
so that I would be taken here:

http://localhost:4444/help.html?user=test

Is there an easy way to achieve this ?
possibly without javascript..

Answer 1

No, there is no easy solution for this problem.
You need to use javascript and the location object.

you need to ensure that you enrich the a urls with the search part

(and others e.g. hash if required)
