Is there a way to pass javascript variables in url?
Try this:
window.location.href = "http://www.gorissen.info/Pierre/maps/googleMapLocation.php?lat="+elemA+"&lon="+elemB+"&setLatLon=Set";
To put a variable in a string enclose the variable in quotes and addition signs like this:
var myname = "BOB";
var mystring = "Hi there "+myname+"!";
Just remember that one rule!
Do you mean include javascript variable values in the query string of the URL?
Yes:
window.location.href = "http://www.gorissen.info/Pierre/maps/googleMapLocation.php?lat="+var1+"&lon="+var2+"&setLatLon="+varEtc;
Summary
With either string concatenation or string interpolation (via template literals).
Here with JavaScript template literal:
function geoPreview() {
var lat = document.getElementById("lat").value;
var long = document.getElementById("long").value;
window.location.href = `http://www.gorissen.info/Pierre/maps/googleMapLocation.php?lat=${lat}&lon=${long}&setLatLon=Set`;
}
Both parameters are unused and can be removed.
Remarks
String Concatenation
Join strings with the +
operator:
window.location.href = "http://www.gorissen.info/Pierre/maps/googleMapLocation.php?lat=" + elemA + "&lon=" + elemB + "&setLatLon=Set";
String Interpolation
For more concise code, use JavaScript template literals to replace expressions with their string representations.
Template literals are enclosed by ``
and placeholders surrounded with ${}
:
window.location.href = `http://www.gorissen.info/Pierre/maps/googleMapLocation.php?lat=${elemA}&lon=${elemB}&setLatLon=Set`;
Template literals are available since ECMAScript 2015 (ES6).
