@jedaisoulMar 15.2015 — #You do not need to use JavaScript in the first place, use:

<a href="#">

@browser23authorMar 15.2015 — #What I would like to achieve is to have the href in <a href=test.link.com>test </a> taken

from the browser url.

the html souce code will look like <a href=test.link.com?extra_char>test </a>....and this will trigger a proper working code.

I am working a custom code that I can't edit its internal process so I am limited to what I can do. The vendor said the page will support javascript.

Originally I use php $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; to capture the url and echo this to the href part of <a></a> but since they don't support this anymore I am forced to find an alternative way of passing the url into the href link.

@browser23authorMar 15.2015 — #From google, I tried

<a id="pageLink">test</a>

<script>

var link = document.getElementById("pageLink");

link.setAttribute("href", window.location.href);

</script>

When I land to this page, with url https://test.com?extrachar

The souce code will show the javascript I put... <a id="pageLink">test</a> ..what I need to have <a href=https://test.com?extrachar>test </a> and this should work.

I guess if I can use javascript to replace an href.. I would like a code

<a href=https://test.com>test</a>.. then use javascript to replace https://test.com from the url of the page, since this url now looks like https://test.com?exctrachar.

resulting page source code should be <a href=https://test.com?extracchar>test</a>
