Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 09.2012

Hi ,

I have javascript variable (var path) which is conatining the table data of particular table row and column. Following line is the code :

[CODE]var path = mytable.rows[i].cells[3].innerHTML;[/CODE]

The ‘path’ variable is containing :

<a href=”coll.pl?path=/home/common/units”>(/home/common/units)</a>

My requirement is to extract the path information (i.e /home/common/units )
from the above string. How can I do that ?

Please help.

Thanks.

@ZABIOct 09.2012 — i don't understand what actually you need. anyway give it a try to path.split('/');

@xelawhoOct 09.2012 — you could slice the string...
[CODE]
<script>
var path='<a href="coll.pl?path=/home/common/units">'
var mypath=path.slice(path.lastIndexOf('=')+1,path.lastIndexOf('"'))
alert(mypath)
</script>
[/CODE]
