So, Ive read through similar things but I still can't find an answer that applies more closely to what I'm doing. I am attempting to use JS to get the current page URL and append it to a social media sharing link like this:

<a href=http://reddit.com/submit?url=CURRENTPAGE.html; title=This is a post! target=_blank>

Using Javascript, I've managed to assign the current URL to a variable:

<script>

var x = window.location.href;

document.getElementById(smsharing).innerHTML = x;

</script></p>

And I made sure it worked by doing a test display of it. So what exactly is the proper method/syntax for actually putting 'x' in place of CURRENTPAGE.html???

I know this is a STUPID question, but I'm really stumped. Specifics help, because part of the problem is that I have precious little knowledge of JS. Thoughts?

This should do it:

<script>

baseurl=http://www.facebook.com?

function buildURL(item)

{

    item.href=baseurl+window.location.href;

    return true;

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<a onclick=return buildURL(this) href=>Google</a>

</body>
