Hi everyone,
I've got this page where I need to dissect the URL and create a page
location. I came up with some really bad JavaScript...
Essentially what I want to do is change Backhoe_Loaders to Backhoe
Loaders...
<script language="JavaScript">
var theURL = document.location+""
// case:
http://www.gsnet.com/servlet/MachineListing/Equipment/Backhoe_Loaders/1_1445
.html
if (theURL!="") {
var urlArray = theURL.split("/")
var b = 2 // http://
var name = urlArray[b+4]
var cgname = replace(name,'_',' ') // here is where I tried to replace _
with a space, more like a sentence...
var cat = urlArray[b+3];
}
</script>
JavaScript complains that cgname is undefined...
Is it? Isn't it? What am I doing? Where are my pants?
Any help would be awesome...
Chris.
