How to check if the URL contains a given string?

Question

How could I do something like this:

<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () {     if(window.location.contains("franky")) // This doesn't work, any suggestions?     {          alert("your url contains the name franky");     } }); </script> 

Answer 1

You need add href property and check indexOf instead of contains

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>  <script type="text/javascript">    $(document).ready(function() {      if (window.location.href.indexOf("franky") > -1) {        alert("your url contains the name franky");      }    });  </script>

Answer 2

if (window.location.href.indexOf("franky") != -1) 

would do it. Alternatively, you could use a regexp:

if (/franky/.test(window.location.href))
