Need to prevent multiple same HTTP queries.

[JAB Creations]

Script support for non-AJAX capable browsers (Opera 8.01 in example) are creating URL havoc!

file.php?prompt=sitethemes?prompt=sitechatroom?prompt=sitechatroom

Here is an example of the functions associated with those HTTP queries...

function sitechatroomshow() {location.href = location.href + '?prompt=sitechatroom';}
function sitethemesshow() {location.href = location.href + '?prompt=sitethemes';}

How do I mode these functions to include the current URL without any attaching any already present HTTP queries?

location.href = location.href.split('?')[0] + '?prompt=sitechatroom';

You could also use a regex, which I prefer:

// Select everything before first '?' 
location.href = location.href.replace( /^(.*?)\?.*$/, "$1"); 

// Or, delete any text matching location.search 
location.href = location.href.replace( new RegExp( location.search), "$1"); 

The location object has many useful properties, try this on one of your pages:

alert( location.protocol +"\n"+ location.host +"\n"+ location.pathname +"\n"+ location.search);

Thanks to both of you for your replies! :)
