converting URL to Action Link #url.action

I have problem with IIS does not read the URL.
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 503 (Service Unavailable)
My project is on Asp.net MVC
I have used a Jqx grid on my project but the grid does not load data on IIS.
How can I convert the URL to Action Link #url.action, so the IIS can read?
My URL on my grid.
url: "/Home/GetIMScompinfo?CompanyName=" + $("#CompanyName").val() + "&StoreName=" + $("#StoreName").val() + "&ComputerName=" + $("#ComputerName").val() + params
url: "/Home/GetSubItems?scopeId=" + id

url: "/Home/GetIMScompinfo?CompanyName=" + $("#CompanyName").val() + "&StoreName=" + $("#StoreName").val() + "&ComputerName=" + $("#ComputerName").val() + params
url: "/Home/GetSubItems?scopeId=" + id
I don't know what is the difference between the two getting the value. So I give the sample script for the first url.
<button class="btn-class" id="press" type="button" onclick="changeHref1()">Genrate first url</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeHref1() {
var url = '#Url.Action("About","Home")';
var company = $('#CompanyName').val();
var store = $('#StoreName').val();
var computer = $('#ComputerName').val();
window.location.href = url + '?CompanyName=' + company + '&StoreName=' + store + '&ComputerName=' + computer;
}
</script>

force_reply works in the address bar but does not work from code in Google Apps Script

The telegram bot must send a message to the user with force_reply active.
Inserting the link in the address bar works; the bot sends the message and the answer function is already active. The same link, generated by the code in Google Apps Script, does not work; the bot does not send anything.
Working link: (I replaced the id of my bot and the ID of the chat with BOT_TOKEN and CHAT_ID)
https://api.telegram.org/BOT_TOKEN/sendMessage?chat_id=CHAT_ID&text=force_replyTest&reply_markup={"force_reply":true}
code to generate the link
var url = "https://api.telegram.org/bot" + token;
function sendText(idChat,text) {
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url + "/sendMessage?chat_id=" + idChat + "&text=" + encodeURIComponent(text) + '&reply_markup={"force_reply":true}');
Logger.log(response.getContentText());
}
if(text == "/p"){
sendText(idChat,"force_reply test");
}

Thank to #TheMaster
Work with this code
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url + "/sendMessage?chat_id=" + idChat + "&text=" + encodeURIComponent(text) + '&reply_markup=' + encodeURIComponent('{"force_reply":true}'));

Add params to URL if page gets reloaded

Heyho, I want to add GET params like?USER_NAME=Max&USER_ID=01 to the URL if the page gets reloaded. I already got a few snippets for changing the URL / adding params. But I need something to detect the page reload and execute a function. Or a way to change the path of the Url directly if the page gets reloaded.
I tried several things like beforeunload and navigation types.
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function() {
// EDIT: vars like uname etc are defined
var newurlgetstring = "?USER_NAME=" + uname + "&USER_EMAIL=" + uemail + "&LAST_NAME=" + lname + "&PRE_NAME=" + fname + "&UTITEL=" + utitel + "&U_ID_T=" + uidt + "&MV=" + mv + "&V=" + uv ;
var newurl = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host +window.location.pathname + newurlgetstring;
window.history.pushState({path:newurl},'',newurl);
});
But I want able to execute a function with beforeunload. I was just able to display a return question.

Replicating base_url in external JS file in CodeIgniter

I have a button in my external js file that, when clicked, I want to be sent to a controller that I have. When I have the on click function in JQuery with the url set to my localhost, it works fine, but how do I set it so that it would work similar to the way the base_url works in CodeIgniter, so that it would work in any environment? I've tried using window.location.origin, or window.location.host instead of the localhost, but neither work. Any ideas?
My external JS button:
var html = '<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert"><p class="instruction_text text-center">' + completedText + '</p></div><input id="next_task" class="btn btn-lg btn-default text-center" style="margin-top: 150px; font-weight: bold;" type="button" value="' + text[lang]['continue'] + '"data-url="http://localhost:8888/oda/sample/instructions/' + task_id + '/' + lang + '/' + type + '">';
$('#final_message').append(html);
$(document).on('click', '#next_task', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
location.href = $(this).data('url');
});
Thanks!

You can leave that work to the browser. If the page is within the same domain you don't need to put it verbosely on your code, you can put something like that:
'"data-url="/oda/sample/instructions/' + task_id + '/' + lang + '/' + type + '"'
note that the / on the beginning says that it will always get to the same place, disregard the current url.
But, if you need for some reason to write the full url window.location.origin will not include the port part of your url, you would have to include window.location.port too to make it work with your environment. and it's not a necessary thing to do in production.
window.location.host should work if you put http:// and / on your string:
'"data-url="http://' + window.location.host + '/oda/sample/instructions/' + task_id + '/' + lang + '/' + type + '"'

You can define base_url value to the JS variable in view and include all external JS below that
Here, I am giving section of example head.php which is located at /your_root/application/views
<script>
var base_url = "<?php echo base_url(); ?>";
</script>

Internet Explorer open outlook appointment javascript

Go figure, I am having issues with IE and was hoping someone might be able to help....
I have a site where visitors will come and sign up for a specific meeting and then I want to be able to generate an appointment for the calendar of their choice; the choices are gmail, yahoo, and outlook. The gmail and yahoo appointments are generated as expected in all browsers, but the outlook appointments work in every browser except IE. Instead of throwing a file save dialog, IE opens a new window and attempts to navigate the url.
I am using the iCalendar jquery library that I modified a bit and building the ics markup in javascript, like this
//build ics markup
var event = makeAppointment(settings);
//render ics markup as outlook appointment
window.open("data:text/calendar;charset=utf8," + escape(event));
function makeAppointment()
{
return 'BEGIN:VCALENDAR\n' +
'VERSION:2.0\n' +
'PRODID:jquery.icalendar\n' +
'METHOD:PUBLISH\n' +
'BEGIN:VEVENT\n' +
'UID:' + new Date().getTime() + '#' +
(window.location.href.replace(/^[^\/]*\/\/([^\/]*)\/.*$/, '$1') || 'localhost') + '\n' +
'DTSTAMP:' + $.icalendar.formatDateTime(new Date()) + '\n' +
(event.url ? limit75('URL:' + event.url) + '\n' : '') +
(event.contact ? limit75('MAILTO:' + event.contact) + '\n' : '') +
limit75('TITLE:' + event.title) + '\n' +
'DTSTART:' + $.icalendar.formatDateTime(event.start) + '\n' +
'DTEND:' + $.icalendar.formatDateTime(event.end) + '\n' +
(event.summary ? limit75('SUMMARY:' + event.summary) + '\n' : '') +
(event.description ? limit75('DESCRIPTION:' + event.description) + '\n' : '') +
(event.location ? limit75('LOCATION:' + event.location) + '\n' : '') +
(event.recurrence ? makeRecurrence(event.recurrence) + '\n' : '') +
'END:VEVENT\n' +
'END:VCALENDAR';
}

You can get the file save dialog to work in IE by adding a "Content-Disposition: attachment" response header. However, this must happen on the server and cannot happen in client-side scripting, since JavaScript cannot modify header information.
