Pop-up Window and vbseo problem

**Mr Happy** · 09-27-2009 11:34 AM

I'm not really good with javascript and need help with a problem. I've creating a pop-up window that goes to another site but sends the url it's coming from in the url it's going to.

Ok here's what I have if that's confusing.

HTML Code:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function popupwin(url) 
{
 var width  = 650;
 var height = 250;
 var left   = (screen.width  - width)/2;
 var top    = (screen.height - height)/2;
 var params = 'width='+width+', height='+height;
 params += ', top='+top+', left='+left;
 params += ', scrollbars=1';
 newwin=window.open(url,'popupwin', params);
 if (window.focus) {newwin.focus()}
 return false;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript: void(0)" onClick="popupwin('http://example.com/check.php?id=http://$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]'); return false;">Centered popup window</a>
</body>

Now that above code works fine in most cases and on most sites. The problem is that one forum I've tried it on has vbseo which means the php comand $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI] isn't the same that's in the address bar. Instead of showing

Code:

http://example.com/check.php?id=http://sitename.com/forum/main-forum/1-test-post-title-some-list.html

it's showing

Code:

http://example.com/check.php?id=http://sitename.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1

After Googling I know that document.write(location.href) will give me the exact url of the seo url as it appears in the address bar which may help. Can anyone show me how to combine document.write(location.href) with my code or offer a suitable alternative to fix the problem?

To clarify the above code works on a regular vb forum just not when vbseo is added.

Thanks in advance.

Code:

this.location.href

should be all you need

HTML Code:

<a href="javascript: void(0)" onclick="popupwin('http://example.com/check.php?id='+ this.location.href); return false;">Centered popup window</a>
