How to Pass QueryString in window.location.href?

Question

I have written the following javascript function

function getval(sel)
 {
    window.location.href = "Posts?Category=<%= sel %>";
 }

but the value of sel variable is not considered in querystring..

Instead of it, it takes value like following.

...../Post/Posts?Category=%3C%=%20sel%20%%3E

Can anyone help me???

Or would you want to use the the function argument `sel` to call a method on the back-end? In that case the principle applied is the same as http://stackoverflow.com/q/13840429/1331430 — Fabrício Matté, Jul 15 '13 at 11:33

Because javascript does not understands jsp scriptlet,

Try,

window.location.href = "Posts?Category=" + sel;

I don't know where you found this <%= sel %>, but its not the native JavaScript style of doing it. Try this:

function getval(sel)
{
    window.location.href = "Posts?Category=" + sel;
 }
