Page LInk

Question

I am extremely new to java. I mostly "edit" existing scripts to get what I need.
I have downloaded a script that allows me to allow people to enter a file name to get an image file.
The script takes people to the existing directory of the page which is www.embgallery.com/upload/filename.jpg
I would like to be able to choose a different directory to be displayed such as www.embgallery.com/newupload/filename.jpg.
Here is the code...
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function password(field)
var thepassword=field.toLowerCase();
window.location.href=thepassword;
//-->
</script>
Basically I want the window.location.href to equal a certain directory and then the password.
To see the way the site behaves, visit http://www.embgallery.com/Upload/index.htm

Answer 1

well, this isn't a Java related question, so for future reference, post your questions to a JavaScript forum, not a Java forum (yes, there is a difference).
However, to answer you question, you can specify either a relative path, or an absolute path as a prefix to your filename. For example, either of the following choices should work for you. The first will go back to the root, and then into the newupload directory, the second takes you back one directory, and then into the newupload directory. Since one directory back IS your root directory in your case, they will both accomplish the same goal.
window.location.href = "/newupload/"+thepassword;
or
window.location.href="../newupload/"+thepassword;
