pass a variable in url in javaScript [duplicate]

Question

How to make the below script pass the javascript values to the url of the href link?

<script type="text/javascript">
function myFunction(name) {
var elemA = name;


window.location.href = "view.php?search=elemA";

}
</script>

By concatenating a string and the content of your variable … window.location.href = "view.php?search=" + elemA; — C3roe

(Should probably add proper URL encoding while you’re at it.) — C3roe

You can attach a variable to a string like this. You may have to use the function encodeURIComponent to avoid errors with whitespaces etc.

function myFunction(name) {
  var elemA = name;
  window.location.href = "view.php?search=" + encodeURIComponent(elemA);
}

The correct function to use would be encodeURIComponent, applied on the parameter value only.

Use this...

window.location.href = "view.php?search="+elemA;
