pass paramenter to document ready function from another page

I have this code in a separate js-file to load content into a page without reloading the page:

$(document).ready(function(){

//Catch the form's submit event:
$('#skipreload').submit(function() {
    //Create AJAX call:
    $.ajax({
        //Get form data:
        data: $(this).serialize(),
        //GET or POST method:
        type: 'GET',
        //The file to call:
        url: 'webaddress.php',
        //On success update div with response:
        success: function(response) {
            $('#form_output').html(response);
        }
    });
    return false;
});
});

I call the function in a page like this:

<html>
<body>
<head>
<script src="js/script.js">
<!-- Want to create variable to pass parameter to document ready function here -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
(...)

Now I want to pass the 'webaddress.php'-url as a parameter from the HTML-page to the script.js-file and its submit function, but I cannot make this work. Does someone know how this can be done?

Solution

  • As @Satpal already mentioned, you could create a global variable inside of your HTML which will be accessible in the external script

    <html>
<body>
<head>
<script>var myUrl = 'webaddress.php';</script>
<script src="js/script.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
(...)

    In script.js:

    url: myUrl,

    Be careful: In that case you must not forget to provide this value in each HTML file that uses script.js, otherwise you will get "undefined" for myUrl.
