window.location.search question

[dmaier]

I have a site that I am creating pages that adapt to different screen sizes. I am using a script for the regular pages that works like this:
<script language="Javascript"><!--
if (screen.width < 1000) {
document.location = "showArticle2.asp";
}
//-->
</script>

Some of the pages have news stories that come from a database and typically the regular page would load something like this:

http://www.mysite.com/news/showarticle?ArticleID=4162

What I want to do since the main page uses the "

http://www.mysite.com/news/showarticle.asp?ArticleID=4162"

is to call the alternate page as shown above but it will do me no good unless I can ArticleID 4162.

I tried this but it does not work:
<script language="Javascript">
if (screen.width < 400)
window.location.replace("showArticle2.asp" + window.location.search);}
//-->
</script>

Does anyone has any ideas how to make it work? Thanks in advance for any help.

Little typo there is all...

<script language="Javascript">
if (screen.width < 400)
  window.location.replace("showArticle2.asp" + window.location.search);[COLOR=red]}[/color]
//-->
</script>

Cheers,
Jeff

I just tried this, for some reason it doesn't seem to work. It just loads the regular page and not the new page.

Maybe something else is causing it to break. Use an alert instead to see if it's even running the script:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (screen.width < 400) {
  alert("showArticle2.asp" + window.location.search);
}</script>

This will also allow you to confirm the correct url is being generated.
