change URL using javascript Jquery

Question

I'm trying to change the URL in the address bar using javascript. So if the user access the page using

www.example.com/ajax/project8.html

Url should be changed automatically to

www.examp.com/#cbp=ajax/project8.html

Answer 1

shouldn't be any harder than this:

window.location = "http://whatever.you.want.com"

Answer 2

UPDATE

So you want your site to redirect to another page when the url is www.example.com/ajax/project.aspx?id=whatever and id=xxx could be any id.

To achieve that you need a function that returns the query string parameter value eg:id=whatever

Then check if the current url needs to be redirected to another page. If this is the case then redirect to new url with same parameter value.

        /*
        function that returns a query string parameter value
        this function works with many parameters
        Eg: www.example.com/#cbp=ajax/project.aspx?myParam=hello&id=1283&otherParam=234
        to get the param value just give it the parameters name
        getQueryStringValue("id") returns : 1283
        getQueryStringValue("myParam") returns : "hello"
        */
        function getQueryStringValue( name ){
          name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]");
          var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
          var regex = new RegExp( regexS );
          var results = regex.exec( window.location.href );
          if( results == null )
            return "";
          else
            return results[1];
        }

        //current url 
        var currentUrl = location.href;

        //check if current url contains www.example.com/ajax/project.aspx
        if (currentUrl.indexOf("www.example.com/ajax/project.aspx") != -1 ){

            //new url for redirection
            var newUrl = "www.example.com/#cbp=ajax/project.aspx?id=" + getQueryStringValue( "id" );

            //redirect to new page
            location.href = newUrl;


        }
