GWT URL Parameters

[KevMo]

I know I can get URL parameters by using Window.Location.getParameter
(), but how does one programatically set the url parameter?

Hi KevMo,

I think you can find this information in this post:
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/bcc33cc90e1064d5/3f9ff71f532b4cd1?#3f9ff71f532b4cd1

Also you can search for "URL Parameters" or "Parameters" in this group
so find more posts.

Regards,

Max

Thanks Max,

I did find that post earlier, however since there is a built in way of
getting URL parameters I thought there would also be a built in way of
setting them. That post suggests using the history to set the
parameters, but then I would need to make my own functions to parse
the history token for the parameters.

Cheers,
Kevin

You cant actualy change the url parameters like you can the history,
because changing them would refresh the page.
google.com#?blah=blah would be a history token that just pretends to
be a normal parameter. (and Window.Location.getParameter wouldnt work
for it).
This can be changed without a page refresh

Any change before a #, however (such as google.com?blah=blah) would
cause a page refresh, and thus cant be done with a continuously
running app.

This cause's much announce in combination with the fact severs cant
access "#", as it makes it very hard to give your users url's which
both always link to the same data, and work for clients without
javascript. (such as google bots)
