I have window.history.replaceState(null, null, 'about');
in main.js
which are located in required/javascripts
on my server.
Then on the about page (located in /
(root) on my server), I have a link that uses window.history.replaceState(null, null, 'about:me');
on this page. Everything works fine, but when I click on another link with the same function but with about:girlfriend
as URL, I'm getting this error message:
Uncaught SecurityError: Failed to execute 'pushState' on 'History': A history state object with URL 'about:girlfriend' cannot be created in a document with origin 'http://my.domain.com'.
I don't know why my browser (latest version of Chrome) think I'm trying to reach this page using pushState
and I don't know why I'm getting this error message, no matter how many times I've read it. Can someone please explain this for me? I do not use History.js
for this.
Worth mention, is that I'm not getting this error message if I change :
to something else, like -
or /
. I want to use :
because /
is not working (404 Page Not Found) and -
doesn't fit in - it's better with :
.
If you are trying to do this locally, the following works for both locally and remote loaded pages:
history.replaceState(null,null, window.location.pathname + "your thing here")
