I am actually looking for a way to get all the URLs entered so that I can redirect the wrong URLs to a 404 page.

when I hit different url s like localhost:0000/details, because location.href is in index.html, this code is not executed. and I can't figure out the URL to redirect the user to the desired page.

  • If you want to do this in a standard web server in purely HTML, I don't believe this is possible. I imagine you would configure your server to capture any unhandled URL's and then serve a specific page in those cases. – damonholden Jan 11 '23 at 17:14

The exact answer in your case will depend on how your are serving your HTML pages, but generally, you would configure you're server to handle a 404 not found response by sending back a specific HTML page.

See this section on the MDN '404 Not Found' page regarding custom error pages. This section specifically refers to the Apache server, where you would add the following to a .htaccess file.

ErrorDocument 404 /<your-page-name-here>.html

Hope this helps.

in this case, we should not look for a solution through HTML and js, and this case can only be controlled through the server.

if I were using GitHub pages, you should create a file called 404.html in the root of the repository so that all 404 errors are redirected to this page.

if you are using the Apache server, read @damonholden 's answer.
