  Redirecting pages based off URL parameter?

  Jan 18, 2017 05:14 PM|jeffcarter|LINK

  I have a webpage and whoever gets on that page, I want to redirect them to different location.

  So,

  IF current link in address bar is www.site.com/mypage?a=paramApple
  then redirect to www.google.com
  
  IF current link in address bar is www.site.com/mypage?a=paramMango
  then redirect to www.yahoo.com
  
  else
  
  redirect to www.bing.com

  How to do this?

  Hi,

  Try adding this JS code in your webpage:

  window.onload=function(){
   var keys = (window.location.search || "").split("=");
   var url = "//www.bing.com";
   if(keys.length>1){
      if(keys[1].indexOf("paramApple")>-1)
  		url="//www.google.com";
  	else if(keys[1].indexOf("paramMango")>-1)
  		url="//www.yahoo.com";
  	}
  	window.location=url;
  };

  //code not tested.

  Happy Coding ! Mark as Answer if it helps.

  Thank you @raju

  So, I am trying to add a counter / timer also so that user will be navigated in 5 seconds and countdown will be displayed on the page so that user know about the redirection.

  This is my code, how can I add countdown to this redirection code?

  <script>
      function startTimer(duration, display) {
          var timer = duration, minutes, seconds;
          var end =setInterval(function () {
              minutes = parseInt(timer / 60, 10)
              seconds = parseInt(timer % 60, 10);
  
              minutes = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes;
              seconds = seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds;
  
              display.textContent = minutes + ":" + seconds;
  
              if (--timer < 0) {
                  window.location = "http://www.mywebsite.com/";
                  clearInterval(end);
              }
          }, 1000);
      }
  
      window.onload = function () {
          var fiveMinutes = 5,
              display = document.querySelector('#time');
          startTimer(fiveMinutes, display);
      };
  </script>
  
  
  
  <script language="javascript">
  window.onload=function(){
   var keys = (window.location.search || "").split("=");
   var url = "//www.bing.com";
   if(keys.length>1){
      if(keys[1].indexOf("paramApple")>-1)
  		url="//www.google.com";
  	else if(keys[1].indexOf("paramMango")>-1)
  		url="//www.yahoo.com";
  	}
  	window.location=url;
  };
  </script>
  
  <div><h3>You will be redirected in <span id="time">00:05</span></h3>

  Hi

  jeffcarter

  how can I add countdown to this redirection code?

  You could modify your code as below:

      <script type="text/javascript">
          function startTimer(duration, display) {
              var timer = duration, minutes, seconds;
              var end = setInterval(function () {
                  minutes = parseInt(timer / 60, 10)
                  seconds = parseInt(timer % 60, 10);
  
                  minutes = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes;
                  seconds = seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds;
  
                  display.textContent = minutes + ":" + seconds;
  
                  if (--timer < 0) {
  
                      var keys = (window.location.search || "").split("=");
  
                      // http://localhost:22620/WebForm29.aspx?a=paramMango
                      var url = "//www.bing.com";
                      if (keys.length > 1) {
                          if (keys[1].indexOf("paramApple") > -1)
                              url = "//www.google.com";
                          else if (keys[1].indexOf("paramMango") > -1)
                              url = "//www.yahoo.com";
                      }
                      window.location = url;
                      clearInterval(end);
                  }
              }, 1000);
          }
  
          window.onload = function () {
              var fiveMinutes = 5,
                  display = document.querySelector('#time');
              startTimer(fiveMinutes, display);
          };
      </script>
  
              <div>
                  <h3>You will be redirected in <span id="time">00:05</span></h3>
              </div>

  Re: Redirecting pages based off URL parameter?

  Jan 19, 2017 07:36 PM|jeffcarter|LINK

  Hi Dillion,

  Thank you so much for the update. That's exactly what I was looking for.

  One more small request. I would like to keep everything same but just add a button that says "Click to continue" .

  The button basically will speed up the process and users who do not want to wait for the countdown will be able to skip the process and continue with the destination page.

  "Continue" button will still take the user to the destination location as per the URL parameter.

  Please help with the code?
