Re-write URL with Javascript - Help

[Canman2005]

Hi all

 

I have a series of tick boxes on my PHP form, they look like

 

<input name="cat" value="Math" type="checkbox">
<input name="cat" value="Art" type="checkbox">
<input name="cat" value="Dance" type="checkbox">

 

if I submit those fields, then my URL looks like

 

find.php?key=&cat=Math&cat=Art&cat=Dance

 

For search engine reasons, whats the best way in Javascript to Re-Write the URL so that it's SEO friendly URL

 

I was thinking when the form is posted, to re-write that URL so that it looks like

 

find.php?key=&cat=Math%7CArt%7CDance

 

So it basically only shows 1 "cat=" and any other are replaced with "%7C" to allow me to seperate the vars with PHP

 

Any advice would be top

 

Thanks

You can use .htaccess to turn find.php?key=&cat=Math&cat=Art&cat=Dance into something like:

 

domain.com/find/Math/Art/Dance which is more search engine friendly.

to save yourself some eventual headache you might want to change the input elements names to cat[] instead of cat since it appears you are wanting the results as an array.
