Appending to a URL

[Phat G5 (G3)]

I was thinking of writing a little function to help reduce the amount of
code needed in a few places.

function link(url)
{
return( url + '?-session_id=' + user.session_id );
}


Then I simply have a line like so:

x.location = link('/clientdb/newclient.lasso');

Now, here is the question... Say I have a parameter already after the .lasso
like xxx.lasso?page=123
What would be the best approach to determine that within the link function?
Look for a ? and if it finds one to append with an & rather than a ?

This should do the trick:

var ch = '?'
if (url.indexOf(ch)!=-1) {
ch='&';
}

Yes.
