Add Extension to Index File

Question

I've been searching online for an answer to this but I can't seem to find anything which can help.

I was wondering if its possible to open a index.html file with an extension after the .html

(for example it would open a file like this - index.html?lc=uk) automatically when you would double click the file or when you click on a link which connects to that file.

Hope that makes sense.

If anyone could help would be much appreciated.

 function setGetParameter(paramName, paramValue) { var url = window.location.href; if (url.indexOf(paramName + "=") >= 0) { var prefix = url.substring(0, url.indexOf(paramName)); var suffix = url.substring(url.indexOf(paramName)); suffix = suffix.substring(suffix.indexOf("=") + 1); suffix = (suffix.indexOf("&") >= 0) ? suffix.substring(suffix.indexOf("&")) : ""; url = prefix + paramName + "=" + paramValue + suffix; } else { if (url.indexOf("?") < 0) url += "?" + paramName + "=" + paramValue; else url += "&" + paramName + "=" + paramValue; } window.location.href = url; }

and then in the body tag:

<body onload="setGetParameter('lc', 'uk');">

This has worked but the problem is that it keeps refreshing the page constantly. Is there a way to stop the refreshing?

Unfortunately this does not work. You can not pass URL Parameters into the file-name.

If you want to add it as the page loads, you could add this to the JavaScript of the page:

function setGetParameter(paramName, paramValue) { var url = window.location.href; if(!(url.indexOf(paramName) >= 0)) { if (url.indexOf(paramName + "=") >= 0) { var prefix = url.substring(0, url.indexOf(paramName)); var suffix = url.substring(url.indexOf(paramName)); suffix = suffix.substring(suffix.indexOf("=") + 1); suffix = (suffix.indexOf("&") >= 0) ? suffix.substring(suffix.indexOf("&")) : ""; url = prefix + paramName + "=" + paramValue + suffix; } else { if (url.indexOf("?") < 0) url += "?" + paramName + "=" + paramValue; else url += "&" + paramName + "=" + paramValue; } window.location.href = url; } }

and then in the body tag:

<body onload="setGetParameter('lc', 'uk');">

Hi user2072726, it doesn't seem to have work, I've added the code to the html file but it doesnt seem to change anything when I've opened the file.
Sorry ignore previous comment, I have solved why it wasn't work and its working :) - but the only problem is that it keeps refreshing the page.. Anyway to stop that?
Okay, I added a second piece of code that should prevent the page from reloading. Just replace what I have given you already with the edit.
I've changed it to the new edit but now it doesnt add the extension like the previous code. :(
I've doubled checked everything but it doesnt seem to add the extension to the url :'(

If you are using Apache, you may use mod_rewrite to perform almost any kind of "magic" with request file names. As long as you know home to use regular ecpressions, of course. I suggest you to do some research on mod_rewrite.
