long story short

I have a site with a search engine which looks like the following after the user searched something:

mysite.com?search=text&position=1 for example

I need an anchor which would take the user to the same page but add another parameter..so I would have anchors which when pressed would go to

mysite.com?search=text&position=1&page=2

the way I tried was
<a href=”#” onclick=”javascript:document.location.href=concat(document.location.href,’&page=2′) but doesn;t seem to work. anyone has an ideea how I can do it?
10x in advance

@gil_davisJun 26.2007 — &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
function extendSearch(addon) {
window.location.search += addon;
}
&lt;/script&gt;
...
&lt;a href="#" onclick="extendSearch('&amp;page=2');return false"&gt;

@biggie_macauthorNov 13.2008 — instead of

window.location.search += addon;

you write

window.open(window.location.href+=addon);

@rshieldsNov 13.2008 — Thanks for your help. When I tried the suggestion, both the parent window and the new window opened to the following address:

http://www.domain.com/&print=true

How can I get the new window to open to

http://www.domain.com/?&print=true

while leaving the parent window unchanged?

@biggie_macauthorNov 14.2008 — My bad, sorry, take out the "=" sign, leaving only

window.open(window.location.href+addon);

Success!
