Insert a Link Using CSS - html

I'm hand-maintaining an HTML document, and I'm looking for a way to automatically insert a link around text in a table. Let me illustrate:
<table><tr><td class="case">123456</td></tr></table>
I would like to automatically make every text in a TD with class "case" a link to that case in our bug tracking system (which, incidentally, is FogBugz).
So I'd like that "123456" to be changed to a link of this form:
123456
Is that possible? I've played with the :before and :after pseudo-elements, but there doesn't seem to be a way to repeat the case number.

Not in a manner that will work across browsers. You could, however, do that with some relatively trivial Javascript..
function makeCasesClickable(){
var cells = document.getElementsByTagName('td')
for (var i = 0, cell; cell = cells[i]; i++){
if (cell.className != 'case') continue
var caseId = cell.innerHTML
cell.innerHTML = ''
var link = document.createElement('a')
link.href = 'http://bugs.example.com/fogbugz/default.php?' + caseId
link.appendChild(document.createTextNode(caseId))
cell.appendChild(link)
}
}
You can apply it with something like onload = makeCasesClickable, or simply include it right at the end of the page.

here is a jQuery solution specific to your HTML posted:
$('.case').each(function() {
var link = $(this).html();
$(this).contents().wrap('');
});
in essence, over each .case element, will grab the contents of the element, and throw them into a link wrapped around it.

Not possible with CSS, plus that's not what CSS is for any way. Client-side Javascript or Server-side (insert language of choice) is the way to go.

I don't think it's possible with CSS. CSS is only supposed to affect the looks and layout of your content.
This seems like a job for a PHP script (or some other language). You didn't give enough information for me to know the best way to do it, but maybe something like this:
function case_link($id) {
return '' . $id . '';
}
Then later in your document:
<table><tr><td class="case"><?php echo case_link('123456'); ?></td></tr></table>
And if you want an .html file, just run the script from the command line and redirect the output to an .html file.

You could have something like this (using Javascript). Inside <head>, have
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function getElementsByClass (className) {
var all = document.all ? document.all :
document.getElementsByTagName('*');
var elements = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < all.length; i++)
if (all[i].className == className)
elements[elements.length] = all[i];
return elements;
}
function makeLinks(className, url) {
nodes = getElementsByClass(className);
for(var i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++) {
node = nodes[i];
text = node.innerHTML
node.innerHTML = '' + text + '';
}
}
</script>
And then at the end of <body>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
makeLinks("case", "http://bugs.example.com/fogbugz/default.php?");
</script>
I've tested it, and it works fine.

I know this is an old question, but I stumbled upon this post looking for a solution for creating hyperlinks using CSS and ended up making my own, could be of interest for someone stumbling across this question like I did:
Here's a php function called 'linker();'that enables a fake CSS attribute
connect: 'url.com';
for an #id defined item.
just let the php call this on every item of HTML you deem link worthy.
the inputs are the .css file as a string, using:
$style_cont = file_get_contents($style_path);
and the #id of the corresponding item. Heres the whole thing:
function linker($style_cont, $id_html){
if (strpos($style_cont,'connect:') !== false) {
$url;
$id_final;
$id_outer = '#'.$id_html;
$id_loc = strpos($style_cont,$id_outer);
$connect_loc = strpos($style_cont,'connect:', $id_loc);
$next_single_quote = stripos($style_cont,"'", $connect_loc);
$next_double_quote = stripos($style_cont,'"', $connect_loc);
if($connect_loc < $next_single_quote)
{
$link_start = $next_single_quote +1;
$last_single_quote = stripos($style_cont, "'", $link_start);
$link_end = $last_single_quote;
$link_size = $link_end - $link_start;
$url = substr($style_cont, $link_start, $link_size);
}
else
{
$link_start = $next_double_quote +1;
$last_double_quote = stripos($style_cont, '"', $link_start);
$link_end = $last_double_quote;
$link_size = $link_end - $link_start;
$url = substr($style_cont, $link_start, $link_size); //link!
}
$connect_loc_rev = (strlen($style_cont) - $connect_loc) * -1;
$id_start = strrpos($style_cont, '#', $connect_loc_rev);
$id_end = strpos($style_cont,'{', $id_start);
$id_size = $id_end - $id_start;
$id_raw = substr($style_cont, $id_start, $id_size);
$id_clean = rtrim($id_raw); //id!
if (strpos($url,'http://') !== false)
{
$url_clean = $url;
}
else
{
$url_clean = 'http://'.$url;
};
if($id_clean[0] == '#')
{
$id_final = $id_clean;
if($id_outer == $id_final)
{
echo '<a href="';
echo $url_clean;
echo '" target="_blank">';
};
};
};
};
this could probably be improved/shortened using commands like .wrap() or getelementbyID()
because it only generates the <a href='blah'> portion, but seeing as </a> disappears anyway without a opening clause it still works if you just add them everywhere :D

xpath in apps script?

I made a formula to extract some Wikipedia data in Google Seets which works fine. Here is the formula:
=regexreplace(join("",flatten(IMPORTXML(D2,".//p[preceding-sibling::h2[1][contains(., 'Geography')]]"))),"\[[^\]]+\]","")&char(10)&char(10)&iferror(regexreplace(join("",flatten(IMPORTXML(D2,".//p[preceding-sibling::h2[1][contains(., 'Education')]]"))),"\[[^\]]+\]",""))
Where D2 is a URL like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbeville,_Alabama
This extracts some Geography and Education data from the Wikipedia page. Trouble is that importxml only runs a few times before it dies due to quota.
So I thought maybe better to use Apps Script where there are much higher limits on fetching and parsing. I could not see a good way however of using Xpath in Apps Script. Older posts on the web discuss using a deprecated service called Xml but it seems to no longer work. There is a Service called XmlService which looks like it may do the job but you can't just plug in an Xpath. It looks like a lot of sweating to get to the result. Any solutions out there where you can just plug in Xpath?
Here is an alternative solution I actually do in a case like this.
I have used XmlService but only for parsing the content, not for using Xpath. This makes use of the element tags and so far pretty consistent on my tests. Although, it might need tweaks when certain tags are in the result and you might have to include them into the exclusion condition.
Tested the code below in both links:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbeville,_Alabama#Geography
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery,_Alabama#Education
My test shows that the formula above used did not return the proper output from the 2nd link while the code does. (Maybe because it was too long)
Code:
function getGeoAndEdu(path) {
var data = UrlFetchApp.fetch(path).getContentText();
// wikipedia is divided into sections, if output is cut, increase the number
var regex = /.{1,100000}/g;
var results = [];
// flag to determine if matches should be added
var foundFlag = false;
do {
m = regex.exec(data);
if (foundFlag) {
// if another header is found during generation of data, stop appending the matches
if (matchTag(m[0], "<h2>"))
foundFlag = false;
// exclude tables, sub-headers and divs containing image description
else if(matchTag(m[0], "<div") || matchTag(m[0], "<h3") ||
matchTag(m[0], "<td") || matchTag(m[0], "<th"))
continue;
else
results.push(m[0]);
}
// start capturing if either IDs are found
if (m != null && (matchTag(m[0], "id=\"Geography\"") ||
matchTag(m[0], "id=\"Education\""))) {
foundFlag = true;
}
} while (m);
var output = results.map(function (str) {
// clean tags for XmlService
str = str.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, '').trim();
decode = XmlService.parse('<d>' + str + '</d>')
// convert html entity codes (e.g.  ) to text
return decode.getRootElement().getText();
// filter blank results due to cleaning and empty sections
// separate data and remove citations before returning output
}).filter(result => result.trim().length > 1).join("\n").replace(/\[\d+\]/g, '');
return output;
}
// check if tag is found in string
function matchTag(string, tag) {
var regex = RegExp(tag);
return string.match(regex) && string.match(regex)[0] == tag;
}
Output:
Difference:
Formula ending output
Script ending output
Education ending in wikipedia
Note:
You still have quota when using UrlFetchApp but should be better than IMPORTXML's limit depending on the type of your account.

Sorry I got very busy this week so I didn't reply. I took a look at your answer which seems to work fine, but it was quite code heavy. I wanted something I would understand so I coded my own solution. not that mine is any simpler. It's just my own code so it's easier for me to follow:
function getTextBetweenTags(html, paramatersInFirstTag, paramatersInLastTag) { //finds text values between 2 tags and removes internal tags to leave plain text.
//eg getTextBetweenTags(html,[['class="mw-headline"'],['id="Geography"']],[['class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-made-collapsible"']])
// **Note: you may want to replace &#number; with ascII number
var openingTagPos = null;
var closingTagPos = null;
var previousChar = '';
var readingTag = false;
var newTag = '';
var tagEnd = false;
var regexFirstTagParams = [];
var regexLastTagParams = [];
//prepare regexes to test for parameters in opening and closing tags. put regexes in arrays so each condition can be tested separately
for (var i in paramatersInFirstTag) {
regexFirstTagParams.push(new RegExp(escapeRegex(paramatersInFirstTag[i][0])))
}
for (var i in paramatersInLastTag) {
regexLastTagParams.push(new RegExp(escapeRegex(paramatersInLastTag[i][0])))
}
var startTagIndex = null;
var endTagIndex = null;
var matches = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < html.length - 1; i++) {
var nextChar = html.substr(i, 1);
if (nextChar == '<' && previousChar != '\\') {
readingTag = true;
}
if (nextChar == '>' && previousChar != '\\') { //if end of tag found, check tag matches start or end tag
readingTag = false;
newTag += nextChar;
//test for firstTag
if (startTagIndex == null) {
var alltestsPass = true;
for (var j in regexFirstTagParams) {
if (!regexFirstTagParams[j].test(newTag)) alltestsPass = false;
}
if (alltestsPass) {
startTagIndex = i + 1;
//console.log('Start Tag',startTagIndex)
matches++;
}
}
//test for lastTag
else if (startTagIndex != null) {
var alltestsPass = true;
for (var j in regexLastTagParams) {
if (!regexLastTagParams[j].test(newTag)) alltestsPass = false;
}
if (alltestsPass) {
endTagIndex = i + 1;
matches++;
}
}
if(startTagIndex && endTagIndex) break;
newTag = '';
}
if (readingTag) newTag += nextChar;
previousChar = nextChar;
}
if (matches < 2) return 'No matches';
else return html.substring(startTagIndex, endTagIndex).replace(/<[^>]+>/g, '');
}
function escapeRegex(string) {
if (string == null) return string;
return string.replace(/[-\/\\^$*+?.()|[\]{}]/g, '\\$&');
}
My function requires an array of attributes for the start tag and an array of attributes for the end tag. It gets any text in between and removes any tags found inbetween. One issue I also noticed was there were often special characters (eg  ) so they need to be replaced. I did that outside the scope of the function above.
The function could be easily improved to check the tag type (eg h2), but it wasn't necessary for the wikipedia case.
Here is a function where I called the above function. the html variable is just the result of UrlFetchApp.fetch('some wikipedia city url').getContextText();
function getWikiTexts(html) {
var geography = getTextBetweenTags(html, [['class="mw-headline"'], ['id="Geography']], [['class="mw-headline"']]);
var economy = getTextBetweenTags(html, 'span', [['class="mw-headline"'], ['id="Economy']], 'span', [['class="mw-headline"']])
var education = getTextBetweenTags(html, 'span', [['class="mw-headline"'], ['id="Education']], 'span', [['class="mw-headline"']])
var returnString = '';
if (geography != 'No matches' && !/Wikipedia/.test(geography)) returnString += geography + '\n';
if (economy != 'No matches' && !/Wikipedia/.test(economy)) returnString += economy + '\n';
if (education != 'No matches' && !/Wikipedia/.test(education)) returnString += education + '\n';
return returnString
}
Thanks for posting your answer.

Copied Image from Google Document Paragraph inserted twice

I'm trying to combine several Google Document inside one, but images inside the originals documents are inserted twice. One is at the right location, the other one is at the end of the newly created doc.
From what I saw, these images are detected as Paragraph by the script.
As you might see in my code below, I've been inspired by similar topics found here.
One of them suggested searching for child Element inside the Paragraph Element, but debugging showed that there is none. The concerned part of the doc will always be inserted with appendParagraph method as the script is not able to properly detect the image.
This is why the other relevant topic I found cannot work here : it suggested inserting the image before the paragraph itself but it cannot detects it.
Logging with both default Logger and console.log from Stackdriver will display an object typed as Paragraph.
The execution step by step did not show displayed any loop calling the appendParagraph method twice.
/* chosenParts contains list of Google Documents name */
function concatChosenFiles(chosenParts) {
var folders = DriveApp.getFoldersByName(folderName);
var folder = folders.hasNext() ? folders.next() : false;
var parentFolders = folder.getParents();
var parentFolder = parentFolders.next();
var file = null;
var gdocFile = null;
var fileContent = null;
var offerTitle = "New offer";
var gdocOffer = DocumentApp.create(offerTitle);
var gfileOffer = DriveApp.getFileById(gdocOffer.getId()); // transform Doc into File in order to choose its path with DriveApp
var offerHeader = gdocOffer.addHeader();
var offerContent = gdocOffer.getBody();
var header = null;
var headerSubPart = null;
var partBody= null;
var style = {};
parentFolder.addFile(gfileOffer); // place current offer inside generator folder
DriveApp.getRootFolder().removeFile(gfileOffer); // remove from home folder to avoid copy
for (var i = 0; i < chosenParts.length; i++) {
// First retrieve Document to combine
file = folder.getFilesByName(chosenParts[i]);
file = file.hasNext() ? file.next() : null;
gdocFile = DocumentApp.openById(file.getId());
header = gdocFile.getHeader();
// set Header from first doc
if ((0 === i) && (null !== header)) {
for (var j = 0; j < header.getNumChildren(); j++) {
headerSubPart = header.getChild(j).copy();
offerHeader.appendParagraph(headerSubPart); // Assume header content is always a paragraph
}
}
fileContent = gdocFile.getBody();
// Analyse file content and insert each part inside the offer with the right method
for (var j = 0; j < fileContent.getNumChildren(); j++) {
// There is a limit somewhere between 50-100 unsaved changed where the script
// wont continue until a batch is commited.
if (j % 50 == 0) {
gdocOffer.saveAndClose();
gdocOffer = DocumentApp.openById(gdocOffer.getId());
offerContent = gdocOffer.getBody();
}
partBody = fileContent.getChild(j).copy();
switch (partBody.getType()) {
case DocumentApp.ElementType.HORIZONTAL_RULE:
offerContent.appendHorizontalRule();
break;
case DocumentApp.ElementType.INLINE_IMAGE:
offerContent.appendImage(partBody);
break;
case DocumentApp.ElementType.LIST_ITEM:
offerContent.appendListItem(partBody);
break;
case DocumentApp.ElementType.PAGE_BREAK:
offerContent.appendPageBreak(partBody);
break;
case DocumentApp.ElementType.PARAGRAPH:
// Search for image inside parapraph type
if (partBody.asParagraph().getNumChildren() != 0 && partBody.asParagraph().getChild(0).getType() == DocumentApp.ElementType.INLINE_IMAGE)
{
offerContent.appendImage(partBody.asParagraph().getChild(0).asInlineImage().getBlob());
} else {
offerContent.appendParagraph(partBody.asParagraph());
}
break;
case DocumentApp.ElementType.TABLE:
offerContent.appendTable(partBody);
break;
default:
style[DocumentApp.Attribute.BOLD] = true;
offerContent.appendParagraph("Element type '" + partBody.getType() + "' from '" + file.getName() + "' could not be merged.").setAttributes(style);
console.log("Element type '" + partBody.getType() + "' from '" + file.getName() + "' could not be merged.");
Logger.log("Element type '" + partBody.getType() + "' from '" + file.getName() + "' could not be merged.");
}
}
// page break at the end of each part.
offerContent.appendPageBreak();
}
}
The problem occurs no matter how much files are combined, using one is enough to reproduce.
If there's only one image in the file (no spaces nor line feed around) and if the "appendPageBreak" is not used afterward, it will not occur. When some text resides next to the image, then the image is duplicated.
One last thing : Someone suggested that it is "due to natural inheritance of formatting", but I did not find how to prevent that.
Many thanks to everyone who'll be able to take a look at this :)
Edit : I adapted the paragraph section after #ziganotschka suggestions
It is very similar to this subject except its solution does not work here.
Here is the new piece of code :
case DocumentApp.ElementType.PARAGRAPH:
// Search for image inside parapraph type
if(partBody.asParagraph().getPositionedImages().length) {
// Assume only one image per paragraph (#TODO : to improve)
tmpImage = partBody.asParagraph().getPositionedImages()[0].getBlob().copyBlob();
// remove image from paragraph in order to add only the paragraph
partBody.asParagraph().removePositionedImage(partBody.asParagraph().getPositionedImages()[0].getId());
tmpParagraph = offerContent.appendParagraph(partBody.asParagraph());
// Then add the image afterward, without text
tmpParagraph.addPositionedImage(tmpImage);
} else if (partBody.asParagraph().getNumChildren() != 0 && partBody.asParagraph().getChild(0).getType() == DocumentApp.ElementType.INLINE_IMAGE) {
offerContent.appendImage(partBody.asParagraph().getChild(0).asInlineImage().getBlob());
} else {
offerContent.appendParagraph(partBody.asParagraph());
}
break;
Unfortunately, it stills duplicate the image. And if I comment the line inserting the image (tmpParagraph.addPositionedImage(tmpImage);) then no image is inserted at all.
Edit 2 : it is a known bug in Google App Script
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36763970
See comments for some workaround.
Your image is embedded as a 'Wrap text', rather than an Inline image
This is why you cannot retrieve it with getBody().getImages();
Instead, you can retrieve it with getBody().getParagraphs();[index].getPositionedImages()
I am not sure why exactly your image is copied twice, but as a workaround you can make a copy of the image and insert it as an inline image with
getBody().insertImage(childIndex, getBody().getParagraphs()[index].getPositionedImages()[index].copy());
And subsequently
getBody().getParagraphs()[index].getPositionedImages()[index].removeFromParent();
Obviously, you will need to loop through all the paragraphs and check for each one either it has embedded positioned images in order to retrieve them with the right index and proceed.
Add your PositionedImages at the end of your script after you add all your other elements. From my experience if other elements get added to the document after the the image positioning paragraph, extra images will be added.
You can accomplish this my storing a reference to the paragraph element that will be used as the image holder, and any information (height, width, etc) along with the blob from the image. And then at the end of your script just iterate over the stored references and add the images.
var imageParagraphs = [];
...
case DocumentApp.ElementType.PARAGRAPH:
var positionedImages = element.getPositionedImages();
if (positionedImages.length > 0){
var imageData = [];
for each(var image in positionedImages){
imageData.push({
height: image.getHeight(),
width: image.getWidth(),
leftOffset: image.getLeftOffset(),
topOffset: image.getTopOffset(),
layout: image.getLayout(),
blob: image.getBlob()
});
element.removePositionedImage(image.getId());
}
var p = merged_doc_body.appendParagraph(element.asParagraph());
imageParagraphs.push({element: p, imageData: imageData});
}
else
merged_doc_body.appendParagraph(element);
break;
...
for each(var p in imageParagraphs){
var imageData = p.imageData
var imageParagraph = p.element
for each(var image in imageData){
imageParagraph.addPositionedImage(image.blob)
.setHeight(image.height)
.setWidth(image.width)
.setLeftOffset(image.leftOffset)
.setTopOffset(image.topOffset)
.setLayout(image.layout);
}
}

Using jQuery to find <em> tags and adding content within them

The users on my review type of platform highlight titles (of movies, books etc) in <em class="title"> tags. So for example, it could be:
<em class="title">Pacific Rim</em>
Using jQuery, I want to grab the content within this em class and add it inside a hyperlink. To clarify, with jQuery, I want to get this result:
<em class="title">Pacific Rim</em>
How can I do this?
Try this:
var ems = document.querySelectorAll("em.title");
for (var i = 0; i < ems.length; ++i) {
if (ems[i].querySelector("a") === null) {
var em = ems[i],
text = jQuery(em).text();
var before = text[0] == " ";
var after = text[text.length-1] == " ";
text = text.trim();
while (em.nextSibling && em.nextSibling.className && em.nextSibling.className.indexOf("title") != -1) {
var tmp = em;
em = em.nextSibling;
tmp.parentNode.removeChild(tmp);
text += jQuery(em).text().trim();
++i;
}
var link = text.replace(/[^a-z \-\d']+/gi, "").replace(/\s+/g, "+");
var innerHTML = "<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://domain.com/?=" + link + "\">" + text + "</a>";
innerHTML = before ? " " + innerHTML: innerHTML;
innerHTML = after ? innerHTML + " " : innerHTML;
ems[i].innerHTML = innerHTML;
}
}
Here's a fiddle
Update: http://jsfiddle.net/1t5efadk/14/
Final: http://jsfiddle.net/186hwg04/8/
$("em.title").each(function() {
var content = $(this).text();
var parameter_string = content.replace(/ /g, "+").trim();
parameter_string = encodeURIComponent(parameter_string);
var new_content = '' + content + '';
$(this).html(new_content);
});
If you want to remove any kind of punctuation, refer to this other question.
$('em.title').html(function(i,html) {
return $('<a/>',{href:'http://domain.com/?='+html.trim().replace(/\s/g,'+'),text:html});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<em class="title">Pacific Rim</em>
UPDATE 1
The following updated version will perform the following:
Grab the contents of the em element
Combine with the contents of the next element, if em and remove that element
Create a query string parameter from this with the following properties
Remove the characters ,.&
Remove html
Append the query parameter to a predetermined URL and wrap the unmodified contents in an e element with the new URL.
DEMO
$('em.title:not(:has(a))').html(function() {
$(this).append( $(this).next('em').html() ).next('em').remove();
var text = $(this).text().trim().replace(/[\.,&]/g,'');
return $('<a/>',{href:'http://domain.com/?par='+encodeURIComponent(text),html:$(this).html()});
});
Or DEMO
$('em.title:not(:has(a))').html(function() {
$(this).append( $(this).next('em').html() ).next('em').remove();
var text = $(this).text().trim().replace(/[\.,&]/g,'').replace(/\s/g,'+');
return $('<a/>',{href:'http://domain.com/?par='+text,html:$(this).html()});
});
UPDATE 2
Per the comments, the above versions have two issues:
Merge two elements that may be separated by a text node.
Process an em element that's wrapped in an a element.
The following version resolves those two issues:
DEMO
$('em.title:not(:has(a))').filter(function() {
return !$(this).parent().is('a');
}).html(function() {
var nextNode = this.nextSibling;
nextNode && nextNode.nodeType != 3 &&
$(this).append( $(this).next('em').html() ).next('em').remove();
var text = $(this).text().trim().replace(/[\.,&]/g,'').replace(/\s/g,'+');
return $('<a/>',{href:'http://domain.com/?par='+text,html:$(this).html()});
});
Actually,if you just want to add a click event on em.title,I suggest you use like this:
$("em.title").click(function(){
q = $(this).text()
window.location.href = "http://www.domain.com/?="+q.replace(/ /g,"+")
}
you will use less html code on browser and this seems simply.
In addition you may need to add some css on em.title,like:
em.title{
cursor:pointer;
}
Something like this?
$(document).ready(function(){
var link = $('em').text(); //or $('em.title') if you want
var link2 = link.replace(/\s/g,"+");
$('em').html('' + link + '');
});
Ofcourse you can replace the document ready with any type of handler
$('.title').each(function() {
var $this = $(this),
text = $this.text(),
textEnc = encodeURIComponent(text);
$this.empty().html('' + text + '');
});

How to add url parameter to the current url?

Currently I'm at
http://example.com/topic.php?id=14
and I want to make a link to
http://example.com/topic.php?id=14&like=like
by not defining the current url. Like Like. However this last one shows me http://example.com/&like=like
There is no way to write a relative URI that preserves the existing query string while adding additional parameters to it.
You have to:
topic.php?id=14&like=like
function currentUrl() {
$protocol = strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL']),'https') === FALSE ? 'http' : 'https';
$host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$script = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
$params = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
return $protocol . '://' . $host . $script . '?' . $params;
}
Then add your value with something like;
echo currentUrl().'&value=myVal';
I know I'm late to the game, but you can just do ?id=14&like=like by using http build query as follows:
http_build_query(array_merge($_GET, array("like"=>"like")))
Whatever GET parameters you had will still be there and if like was a parameter before it will be overwritten, otherwise it will be included at the end.
In case you want to add the URL parameter in JavaScript, see this answer. As suggested there, you can use the URLSeachParams API in modern browsers as follows:
<script>
function addUrlParameter(name, value) {
var searchParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search)
searchParams.set(name, value)
window.location.search = searchParams.toString()
}
</script>
<body>
...
<a onclick="addUrlParameter('like', 'like')">Like this page</a>
...
</body>
If you wish to use "like" as a parameter your link needs to be:
Like
More likely though is that you want:

It is not elegant but possible to do it as one-liner <a> element
<a href onclick="event.preventDefault(); location+='&like=like'">Like</a>
Maybe you can write a function as follows:
var addParams = function(key, val, url) {
var arr = url.split('?');
if(arr.length == 1) {
return url + '?' + key + '=' + val;
}
else if(arr.length == 2) {
var params = arr[1].split('&');
var p = {};
var a = [];
var strarr = [];
$.each(params, function(index, element) {
a = element.split('=');
p[a[0]] = a[1];
})
p[key] = val;
for(var o in p) {
strarr.push(o + '=' + p[o]);
}
var str = strarr.join('&');
return(arr[0] + '?' + str);
}
}

How do I use JavaScript in my <select> options list?

How do I use
<select>
<option>numbers1-100</option>
</select>
I have to use 1 to 100 numbers in my option list.Typing all the options takes time and makes code bigger.I guess we have to use javascript to make it work using for loop and document write.But I dont know how to put the code in the right way.How do i list the options list using java script? I mean the java script should be beside my label;example
number : 1-1oo \\ here the options list should be printed
and number can be anywhere but the script should print options list beside the number.How do i make it ? Unable to figure it out.Been trying from an hour or so.
Place this function in your <script> tags or include it within a script. Than call the function, createSelectOption() whenever you need the select box to be created.
Here is how you would have it loaded on page load with just javascript: `
function createSelectOption() {
var select_option = '<select>';
for(i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
select_option += '<option value=' + i + '>' + i + '</option>';
}
select_option += '</select>';
document.getElementById('div').innerHTML = select_option;
}
I have included a jsfiddle demo to show you that it should be working/
You shouldn't really use javascript for this, it would usually be better using a server-side language such as php. You could use a for loop or a while loop to do this quite easily
Here's one way to do this.
http://jsfiddle.net/ryh7k/1/
var selectEle = document.getElementById('mySelect'),
optionEle = undefined;
for (var i=1;i<=100;i++) {
optionEle = document.createElement('option');
optionEle.setAttribute('value', i.toString());
optionEle.innerText = i.toString();
selectEle.appendChild(optionEle);
}
Simplest case:
<select>
<script>
for (var i = 1; i < 101; i++) {
document.write('<option value="'+i+'">'+i+'</option>');
}
</script>
</select>
But there are of course problems with this. First, people without JS will not see any options and having a SCRIPT tag inside a SELECT is not that nice either.
<select id="container"></select>
<script>
var s = document.getElementById('container');
var opts = '';
for (var i = 1; i < 101; i++) {
opts += '<option value="'+i+'">'+i+'</option>';
}
s.innerHTML = opts;
</script>
