How do I change the URL

JavaScript
1

Hi guys,

In my book I’m going thru, there is the example below to demonstate the location property; After I run this code, the author wants me to “modify the URL that I use to call the page, to add some query string parameter/value, such as ‘name=Jeff and country = US’, and run the code again”.
He doesn’t tell me how to modify the URL, though, so how do I modify the URL?

Thanks,
Jeff

                var text = document.createTextNode(prop + ": " + location[prop]);
                elem.appendChild(text);
                body.appendChild(elem);
            }
        }

There’s no coding involved, all it means is to append some parameters to the URL in the address bar.

To load the page you may type: mypage.htm

Instead you may add parameters: mypage.htm?partNum=83453&desc=bolt

The purpose being presumably to see the search property change in the display generated.
