How to pass a variable through a URL (JavaScript)

Question

How can I pass some argument(s) through a URL using a clean url:

From this:

http://example.com/something/index.html?Use_Id=abc

To this:

http://example.com/something/abc

you want to parse abc from the url? you have rewrited urls? — rob

Are you using nodejs? If not, do you use mod_rewrite? So to make this clear: You want that example.com/something/abc routes to example.com/something/index.html?Use_Id=abc without changing the addressbar? — Sebastian Nette

I want to use example.com/something/abc (to send trough an e-mail message or sms) and get the same results as if I were using example.com/something/index.html?Use_Id=abc Is it possible? — Ricardo

Yes, but to solve that, we need to know what kind of webserver are you running? Nodejs? Apache? lighttp? nginx? — Sebastian Nette

Insufficient information to answer the question. You should be more specific, providing as many details as you can, or people trying to help you will just waste their time. — Dmitri Sologoubenko

window.location.href = "http://example.com/something/abc?use_id="+your_value_variable

and if you need more than one, just add it to the string.
