[Javascript] Newbie dipping toes in water

Well, in that case you will have to share some of you'r code with us!?
The problem is that if one does not know in what environment you are calling 
the function, -into what host applicaton, -from what external file, (if it's 
a *.js there is no change, the script should work even if it is externaly 
implemented but on top of some html document into IE environment nowhere 
else).
Sugestion if the host application you're using can handle strings you can 
paste them from this function, simply calling theLocation variable.
Otherwise, there's no way one can help you even if he/she knows the answer 
without being able to see the targeted code.

Regards!
