I have a page with select options and I am using JQuery to refresh the page and add a string to the url when an option is clicked. Now I need a way to check the browsers url to see if it contains said string.

Looking on other threads I thought indexOf would work, but when trying this it doesn't work. How else would I check if the URL contains something like ?added-to-cart=555? The complete URL would normally look like: http://my-site.com, and after clicking one of the options it looks like this after page reload: http://my-site.com/?added-to-cart=555. I just need to check to see if the URL contains that ?added-to-cart=555 bit.

Here is what I have:

jQuery(#landing-select option).click(function(){



 $('#product-form').submit();



    window.location.href += $(this).val()



});



jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

if(window.location.indexOf(?added-to-cart=555) >= 0)

            {

                 alert(found it);

            }

});
