Load a page into another frame

Here is my HTML code

<script src="codepage.js" language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>

<iframe src="blankpage.htm" width="88" height="32"></iframe>

I need codepage.js to load this page into the iframe:

counter.asp?referer=REFERER GOES HERE

I know this may seem simple to most of you but I am a beginner to JS!

Thanks for reading this.

First of all neds your iframe a name:
<iframe name="myFrame" src="blankpage.htm" width="88" height="32"></iframe>

Then your script file needs this statement:
window.onload=function(){window.frames.myFrame.src="counter.asp?referer="+document.referrer};

Is there any way which I can redirect to counter.asp?userid=...&countid=...&referer=...

If I make the script name: code.js?userid=...&countid=...

Thankyou

Zvonko

You cannot read the script script src in the script and you cannot change it dynamicaly.
Where should the values come from?

Isnt there a querystring object?

Zvonko

The name of querystring object is: windows.location.search

Zvonko

And the syntax to pass the query string to the iframe is:
window.onload=function(){window.frames.myFrame.src="counter.asp?referer="+document.referrer+"&"+windows.location.search.substr(1)};

Sorry I havent replied for soooo long. Would

windows.location.search.substr(1)

be the whole querystring?

I did not want to waste your time.
Sorry, could you tell me?

Zvonko

Could you ask for grade correction here:

And you do not waste my time. I like answering questions ;-)

If I correct the grade, will you give me the solution?

Zvonko

My script line has two typos.
Take this one:

window.onload=function(){window.frames.myFrame.location="counter.htm?referer="+document.referrer+"&"+window.location.search.substr(1)};

Ill test it now!

I made counter.asp write the querystring and it said:

referer=&

So something must be wrong with window.location.search.substr(1)

Zvonko

That's correct.
You cannot use document.referrer localy, only on web server.
And if you want to avoid the & char when no query was in parnet window, then you need and "if" statement. But that does not hurt in standard URL syntax.

If you realy want the & only when query are passed, then rewrite it to this:

window.onload=function(){window.frames.myFrame.location="counter.htm?referer="+document.referrer+((window.location.search)?"&"+window.location.search.substr(1):"")};

Ill try it.

Oh no! I think Ive explained a bit wrong!!

I want this querystring:

<script src="codepage.js? >>>>>userid=...&countid=...<<<<<" language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>
