I have a webpage that I want people to fill information out on and then a response emailed to me with that information. Is there a way that I can include the url in the email from that page using html?
I have no clue how to start this. I saw a similar question here: Get current webpage URL
but I don't understand how to turn the src: url to the one of the page I am currently on. It seems like I should be able to reference it, but I am unsure how.
Thanks
This is not possible with straight html. You can use Javascript to change the src attribute:
document.getElementById("myElement").setAttribute("src", window.location.href);
In this example, it's assumed that you are attempting to change the src attribute of an element with the id "myElement".
See this question. To get the webpage URL with JavaScript, you can use document.URL. You can then use it for what you want.

I need to format this canonical URL and I cant figure out how! I've looked around the web and this site a lot and I've realized that I need a specific answer.
Problem Description:
My BLOG's desktop view has (say) URL: www.x.com/page.html
The same page in mobile view URL would be: www.x.com/page.html?m=1
Its all good and dandy to this point, but the problem comes when I use facebook comments with this. It parses url based on this: www.x.com/page.html
So, it is identifying ?m=1 in the end of the first URL as an entirely different URL.
i.e
It is treating those two URL as different
Both of them are URL for the same page and I want them to be treated the same
Could anyone provide me a way to check if the loading page is ?m=1 and if it is ?m=1 then remove the ?m=1 when sending it to facebook?
I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT IF THE SOLUTION IS INLINE if it is not inline, oh well, I just need a solution right now.
Current code snippet used is this:
<fb:comments colorscheme='light' expr:href='data:post.url' expr:title='data:post.title' expr:xid='data:post.id' height='110' width='560'/>
Let me break the question into small parts(incase someone is not a native speaker and wants to help/learn about this problem)
I want to detect if the loading page has ?m=1 in its URL or not. The canonical URL for this is data:post.url applied as
expr:href='data:post.url'
If a ?m=1 is detected from data:post.URL , I want to remove it and send the remaining URL into expr:href= so that both my URLs
are identified the same when my website displays facebook comments.
Click the image link below to look at this image please. This is the same URL but the
comments are being sent to me as if they're from different URLs. I
want them to appear under the same thread.

I haven't found this particular answer anywhere and I am hopeful that
some creative solutions will pop out in this site!
In your code
<fb:comments colorscheme='light' expr:href='data:post.url' expr:title='data:post.title' expr:xid='data:post.id' height='110' width='560'/>
Use data:post.canonicalUrl instead of data:post.url
This is the Blogger's layout tag for getting the Canonical URL of a blog post (This will always default to the blogspot.com domain, so there won't be ccTLD issues as well)
Okay, i'm extremely new to this sort of thing, so i am probably using incorrect terminology, but i've been trying to find an answer and can't, so i'm asking here!
I have a website made in Tumblr that opens post content inside an iframe. However, that means my parent url doesn't change according to the iframe content. Is there a way i can cause the parent url to change according to the post inside the iframe? On other sites i have just done this manually but it needs to happen automaically here.
Help! Thanks!
I think you could achieve this on a website using a trick to manually modify the address in the URL bar without reloading the page. See this question for more information. Unfortunately I am not familiar with how Tumblr works internally so I wouldn't be able to say if you can actually use this. But it seems like the only way to achieve what you want.
I have a problem relating to relative links in href. To make a long story short, I think an example is the best way to get what's going on.
On tinhte.vn/threads/300021/, it is a discussion forum, to go to the page 2, we click on [2].
I view source code of [2], its content is 2.
If I do not misunderstand about relative links, this will append threads/30021/page-2 after the current link, which is tinhte.vn/threads/30021/, and we have the link like this:
tinhte.vn/threads/300021/threads/300012/page-2
But in practice, when I do in the browser, mine is chrome, the link is:
tinhte.vn/threads/300012/page-2
Anyone please explain why?
Sorry, due to the spam prevention, I cannot post direct link.
Thanks in advance.
The link will correctly go to tinhte.vn/threads/300021/threads/300012/page-2 as you guessed. However, looking at the response from a request to that url we can see that the page redirects to another url. I used web-sniffer to quickly see the raw response from the server.
The interesting part of the response is this:
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="/threads/300021/page-2"/>
The browser will react to this and navigate to the specified URL. Hence the observed behaviour.
Read more about redirects here.
I've seen now that some urls use exactly this combination of symbols in urls: #!
E.g: facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/?sk=messages
Or twitter:
http://twitter.com/#!/myusername/following
Is this just coincidence or something more interesting? Does anyone have an idea or even knows what they are used for?

Yes, its a proposal from Mozilla foundation for a search extension to the URL format.
See more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier
It shouldn't have any special meaning for the URL. Anything after the # isn't sent as part of the GET request.
This is something that can be read by JavaScript on the page, though, and allows them to use AJAX to reload the main content of the page w/o doing a complete new page load.
I'm trying to create an ajax-driven gallery where each photo in a sequence is loaded with an Ajax.Actionlink.
The user can get to any given photo by passing a parameter to the action method, eg: Gallery/Index?photo=100
The problem is that when the user is cycling through photos with the Ajax.Actionlink's the URL is no longer being updated (the way it would be during normal post-backs) so they can't copy paste from the address bar to get back to a photo.
My question is: what is the best way to solve this issue in ASP.NET MVC? One thing I was thinking of was updating the address bar with hashtags, but frankly I don't know if this is a good approach.
I could use some best-practice advice on how to solve this problem. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you.
If you really want to update the address bar with each ajax update there are a couple of jquery / javascript libraries you can use as described in this blog post: http://stephenwalther.com/archive/2010/04/08/jquery-asp-net-and-browser-history
However, the best practice solution is usually not to try and fake something like this (its only going to go wrong). If you want to give your users the ability to share or link to a photo is to provide a field with the appropriate url or permalink to the url that they can copy from. Google maps has a good example of this - if you wanted to share a map with someone else.
I would look into rewriting your routes to include the photo ID in the path.
E.g., /Gallery/Index/100 instead of ?photo=100. This would be why your ActionLink methods aren't working how they should, as the querystring isn't part of the route.
