Passing Values to Variables in a URL Using JavaScript

Question

I have the following URL

C#

var googleURL = 'https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%3A76546294&dimensions='+
    'ga%3Asource&metrics=ga%3Ausers&sort=-ga%3Ausers&start-date=2014-04-09&end-date=2014-04-23&max-results=10';

In that URL there are 2 variables &start-date and &end-date.

The values for that 2 variables are hard coded, but what I want is from an HTML form I want to send 2 date values to that particular URLs' start-date & end-date. I am trying to do that using only JavaScript. If JS is not capable show me how to do that?

Thanks & regards,
Chiranthaka

Hi,

Put both date values in two variables in JS function.
Then Use

JavaScript

var googleURL = "https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%3A76546294&dimensions='ga%3Asource&metrics=ga%3Ausers&sort=-ga%3Ausers&start-date='"+Date1+"'&end-date='"+Date2+"'&max-results=10;'"

Pls check by using this, then tell me it is solved or not.

I did that and still the variables are not assigned to the URL. when I alert the googleURL variable the start-date & end-date are displayed as 'undefined' see it below.

https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%3A76546294&dimensions=ga%3Asource&metrics=ga%3Ausers&sort=-ga%3Ausers&start-date=undefined&end-date=undefined&max-results=10

So what do you think that what I have to do?

Thanks & regards,

In javascript, first find control start date and end date. then find value and put in url.
Please give your full JS code

This is the full source code.

<script type="text/javascript" >

var strStartDate;
var strEndDate;
var googleURL;

//The following JS function will pass the values from the form to the URL.
function passVariable() {

strStartDate = document.getElementById("from_date").value;
strEndDate = document.getElementById("to_date").value;

alert(strStartDate);
alert(strEndDate);
//alert(googleURL);
document.write(googleURL);

}

googleURL = 'https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%3A76546294&dimensions='+'ga%3Asource&metrics=ga%3Ausers&sort=-ga%3Ausers&start-date=' + strStartDate + '&end-date=' + strEndDate + '&max-results=10';

passVariable();

It's Wrong

function passVariable() {
strStartDate = document.getElementById("from_date").value;
strEndDate = document.getElementById("to_date").value;

alert(strStartDate);
alert(strEndDate);
//alert(googleURL);
googleURL = 'https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%3A76546294&dimensions='+'ga%3Asource&metrics=ga%3Ausers&sort=-ga%3Ausers&start-date=' + strStartDate + '&end-date=' + strEndDate + '&max-results=10';
document.write(googleURL);
}

call this function at any event
