Hi Guys.

Im trying to do the following..

// Get referring URL
var ref = encodeURIComponent(document.referrer);

function openWindow(id,name)
{

window.open("http://hauntednipple.co.uk?id="+id ,name,"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=450px,height=250px");
// End.
}

However I want to add a &refurl= to it..
But if I do the following.
It just stops at the & ( ampersand )
I cant URLencode it etc as it needs to be the "&" symbol in the url bar so the get request works!

Ive tried:
But it fails.. ( just opens the url up to the & char.. )

// JavaScript Document

var ref = encodeURIComponent(document.referrer);

function openWindow(id,name)
{
// Open IMsupporting window.
window.open("http://hauntednipple.co.uk?id="+ id +"&refurl=" + ref ,name,"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=450px,height=250px");
// End.
}

Simply having the &MPERSAND here breaks it.. id +"&refurl
Thoughts?

Change it to Unicode "\uFF06"

Doesnt work as it outputs as that in the url ( address bar ) on the popup window..

It needs to be & otherwise the get request fails..

use

String.fromCharCode(38)

Just build up the URL and GET string before you use it as a parameter to the window.open

<script type="text/javascript">
var aurl="http://www.worldssaddestsongs.com/";
var theurl= aurl + "?a=1" + "&b=" + 2;
</script>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Open Window" onclick="open_win(theurl)">
</form>
</body>

Try this one

// JavaScript Document

var ref = encodeURIComponent(document.referrer);

function openWindow(id,name)
{
// Open IMsupporting window.
window.open("YOURLINK?id="+ id +"\&refurl=" + ref ,name,"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=450px,height=250px");
// End.
}
