Multiple Javascript Variables in URLs

Question

I've been struggling with the following for the last 48 hours and I'm hoping someone here can dig me out of a hole;

window.open("process.php?page=g&zipcode=" + zipcode); <- I need to add a second variable to the end of this URL. I know that if I do this window.open("process.php?page=g&zipcode=" + zipcode + id); adds the variable but annoyingly directly after the first one. What I need is for it to look like this:

process.php?page=g&zipcode=33001&id=63423563

the bit I can't get is how to add the "&id=" inbetween the variables.

I really hope that make sense.

Thanks in advance

You're only appending them directly, not adding the necessary string between them:

window.open('process.php?page=g&zipcode='+zipcode+'&id='+id);

Thank you, looks like I missed out the + after the first variable.

In javascript, + is used for both addition of numbers and concat of strings. In your question you said that you have typed as,window.open("process.php?page=g&zipcode=" + zipcode + id);
This would concat the zipcode and id, and the combination to the string.Instead you must type,

window.open("process.php?page=g&zipcode=" + zipcode +"&id="+ id);

This would concat id to its respective string i.e.&id=.You have missed it to learn.

+ is used to concat strings.

"process.php?page=g&zipcode=" + zipcode +"&id=" + id

Or as an addition operator ;)

You don't need a space before the &id= part
