how to call a page with javascript action?

Question

I have a javascript code on index.php calling a page like this :

   id = 5;
   var url = 'pages/pg/'+id+'/';
    f.action  = urlss.toLowerCase();
   return true;

the problem is that when I am landing at that page and want to call again with a different ID id doesn't work , I must provide var url the entire path :

var url = 'mysite.com/pages/pg/'+id+'/';

is there a way to call it without http domaine ?

It looks like you'll want to use `window.location(url)` for this. — B3none, Apr 11 '18 at 10:49

You're using relative url say (i figure out) from your website root (/).

When you navigate to pages/pg/<id> you are in fact navigating to /pages/pg/<id>. That is: <id> page in /pages/pg web directory so your new current path is /pages/pg and hence navigating to pages/pg/<id> you are in fact navigating to /pages/pg/pages/pg/<id> (see url field of your browser...).

Whenever possible I strongly advice you to always use absolute url's if you can.

Otherwise you should take care of any path change to properly fix your relative paths.

Change the window.location property

You can set the absolute url: window.location="http://www.google.es"

The relative path to the current url viewed: window.location="./relativePath"

Or the relative path to the current domain: window.location="/domainRelative"

This another answer explains the absolute vs relative paths https://stackoverflow.com/a/21306605/4635829
