Adding html via Jquery but page just keeps refreshing

Question

I don't have access to change the html directly on page so I'm using jquery to add some text. I have this code so far:

$(document).ready(function(){
     if(window.location.href='http://somepage.com')
 { 
    $(".rightborder.eq(2)").append("<p>some text</p>");
}

The problem is that the text gets added but the page just keeps refreshing, like its doing a loop which cannot end. Can anyone see why?

Thanks

Dan

You are assigning new href property, you need to check it instead:

if(window.location.href === 'http://somepage.com')

= is to initialize try == for comparision

And

$(".rightborder").eq(2).append("<p>some text</p>");

instead of

$(".rightborder.eq(2)").append("<p>some text</p>");


   if (window.location.href == 'http://somepage.com') {
        $(".rightborder").eq(2).append("<p>some text</p>");
   }

I was just about to tell you that you'd made the same error as in the original post - then you corrected it ;)

your if condition is wrong..You should use the comparision operator instead of assignment operator.

Use this..

if(window.location.href == 'http://somepage.com')

Also correct the below code

$(".rightborder.eq(2)").append("<p>some text</p>");

to this

   $(".rightborder").eq(2).append("<p>some text</p>");

$(document).ready(function(){
     if(window.location.href ==='http://somepage.com')
     { 
        $(".rightborder").eq(2).append("<p>some text</p>");
     }
});

Use ===(exactly equal to- equal value and equal type) not =(used to assign values) . Javascript Comparison Operators

And you cannot use .eq(2) in that way.
