Compare URL with JavaScript

I am trying to write a function like this:

if ( document.url!= 'search.php') {
    window.location = 'search.php' 
}

This is not working; it seems I may need to check if URL string contains 'search.php' - or is there another way I can do this check?

I always use this.

if (window.location.href != 'search.php') {//get the current url
        window.location.href = 'search.php' //redirect
    }

Try any of these

- alert(document.URL)

- alert(Window.location.href)

- alert(document.location.href)

- alert(window.location.pathname)

for creating dropdown with links -:Put this in the success part of your ajax

            var data=JSON.parse(xmlhttp.responseText);
            var alldata;
            for(var  i=0;i< data.length;i++)
            {
                alldata += "<a id='some_id' onclick='myFunction(this.id);' href='whatever#' class='link'>"+data[i][0]+"</a><hr>";
            }
            //data[i][0]-->this depends on your json text.
       document.getElementById('your_input_field_id or div_id').innerHTML = alldata;

It sounds like you're searching for indexOf. Note that it's not document.url, but document.URL:

if (document.URL.indexOf('search.php') == -1) {
    window.location = 'search.php';
}

Note: This will also match the following:

http://www.domain.com/search.php
http://www.domain.com/index.php?page=search.php&test
http://www.domain.com/search.php/non-search.php
http://www.domain.com/non-search.php#search.php

Extra note: Why are you doing this? If people have javascript disabled, they will never get forwarded. Maybe you're searching for the 301 or 302 header?
