I am sure this should be possible but when I look at google, all it tells me is how to get the filename and stuff, I don't want this.

I am looking for this because I use Weebly as my webhost and it only allows for .html files - when you click "Home" you are brought to /index.html and when you open the site there isn't a /index.html.

What would be a plus is if I can add (using an if statement of course) JS that redirects if the site's url == http://kingdomofmuqtasid.weebly.com/index.html and points the body to: http://kingdomofmuqtasid.weebly.com.

PS: can the code be placed inside the body?

window.location.href

is the full URL of the current page. See the MDN doc page for window.location for more info.

You could put this code in the <head> section or <body> section of your page to do the redirection.

<script>
if (window.location.href == "http://kingdomofmuqtasid.weebly.com/index.html") {
    window.location = "http://kingdomofmuqtasid.weebly.com/";
}
</script>

P.S. This code goes in whatever page is served up when the viewer goes to "http://kingdomofmuqtasid.weebly.com/index.html".

  • Thanks, but... how would I place that into an if statement so I can redirect between the 2 urls I listed?

  • Semi off-topic, but ideally you shouldn't be doing redirects on the client-side, you should be doing them server-side.

  • @market agreed. similar to going to the store, buying ice cream for your significant other, going back home, finding out its the wrong ice cream, etc etc

You can use window.location to get these data. With the code above you can iterate over the window.location and get the data that you are needing.

var location = window.location;

for ( var i in location ) {
    console.log( i + " " + location[i] );
}
