hello. i want to determine whether the percentage sign (%) exists in the
page's address, so i write this code:

<script language=javascript>
presentAdd = self.location
<!-- "self.location" cannot be replaced by the actual file name because it
will be employed in different pages -->
if (presentAdd.indexOf('%') > -1) {
document.write('present')
} else {
document.write('absent')
}
</script>

IE returns an error message "Object doesn't support this property or method".
What should be modified?
Thanks.

document.write('present')
} else {
document.write('absent')
}

Kev's reply is good but if you want to learn javascript for future projects
doing it like this should help

document.write(location.href.indexOf("%")==-1? "absent":"present")

Great ,
I like it too

Is it true that (condition) ? value2 : value2 can be used anywhere where one
would normally place value ?

I note that Jon's code does not even place the condition in ()

Yes, you can use it like this
var a = 10
b=(a==10)?20:30;
// brackets are optional this would be equally valid
b=a==10?20:30;
//b =20
// or
alert(a==10?'It\'s ten':'It\'s not ten')
