JQuery Detect If in Homepage and Homepage PLUS url Variables

I am using this code to detect the homepage and it works great:

var url= window.location.href;
if(url.split("/").length>3){
    alert('You are in the homepage');
}

My problem is that I also need to detect if the url has variables for example:

mysite.com?variable=something

I need to also detect if the url has variables on it too

How can I do this?

Solution

  • Take a look at the window.location docs , the information you want is in location.search , so a function to check it could just be:

    function url_has_vars() {
   return location.search != "";
}
