if Secure statement for https and http

[vandenberc]

I am trying to setup an html page. I have a button and when you click
on it I want it to go to either http:///.../demo.htm or
https://..../demo.htm based on whether or not you went through the
crypted site or the uncrypted site. I know that I can make a relative
address but since the link that I want is not on the same server I
can't do that. I just want a script that says

if secure
document.load "https:// this secure web address"
else
document.load "http://this non secure address"

I am new to programming and I would really appreciate any guidance.
Thanks.

if (/https:\/\//.test(location.href))
location.href = "https://blahblah.com/"
else
location.href = "http://blahblah.com/"

or shorter:

location.href = (/https:\/\//.test(location.href))
? "https://blahblah.com/"
: "http://blahblah.com/"

If you are so new to programming,
perhaps you should reconsider working on site security?

((/https:\/\//.test(location.href)) and in the ? and :
Thanks so much for your help.


location.href = (/https:\/\//.test(location.href))

Use the code as is!
Read up on regular expressions.
