Error: missing ; before statement in javascript

Question

I am applying a javascript, but it fires the error:

**missing ; before statement**

String str = document.location.href;
alert(str);
str.replace( "/blogs/-/blogs", "blogs" );

Your any suggestions are appreciated.

Change

String str = document.location.href;

to

var str = document.location.href;

You don't declare variables with a type in JavaScript but with the var keyword.
