Replacing Certain Text Parts Using JavaScript

Question

I have the following URL assigned to a variable in a webpage using JavaScript. The code snippet is below.

JavaScript

googleURL = 'https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%3A76546294&dimensions='+'ga%3Asource&metrics=ga%3Ausers&sort=-ga%3Ausers&start-date=2014-04-05&end-date=2014-04-23&max-results=10';

The startdate & enddate values are static. Now I want that perticualr dates to be dynamic & the dates will be get from a HTML form & I already have that done. Those values are assigned into 2 different JS variables already. But I add those variables to the URL as below.

JavaScript

googleURL = 'https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%3A76546294&dimensions='+'ga%3Asource&metrics=ga%3Ausers&sort=-ga%3Ausers&start-date=strStartDate&end-date=strEndDate&max-results=10';

Please look at start-date and end-date, there you can find the JS variable names that I have replaced with static dates.

When I alterted the edited googleURL, it displays as at the below.

https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%3A76546294&dimensions=ga%3Asource&metrics=ga%3Ausers&sort=-ga%3Ausers&start-date=strStartDate&end-date=strEndDate&max-results=10

I think the variable values are not assigning to or replacing the specified variables. The code snippet I'm working is at the below.

JavaScript

var strStartDate;
var strEndDate;
var googleURL;

//The following JS function will pass the values from the form to the URL.
function passVariable() {

  strStartDate = document.getElementById("from_date").value;
  strEndDate = document.getElementById("to_date").value;

  alert(strStartDate);
  alert(strEndDate);
  //alert(googleURL);
  document.write(googleURL);

}

 googleURL = 'https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%3A76546294&dimensions='+'ga%3Asource&metrics=ga%3Ausers&sort=-ga%3Ausers&start-date=strStartDate&end-date=strEndDate&max-results=10';

 passVariable();

I'm using JavaScript. could someone helpme to solve this matter?

Thanks & regards,

Now its saying undefined for the values. I cannot understand what the problem is. The result is at the below.

https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%3A76546294&dimensions=ga%3Asource&metrics=ga%3Ausers&sort=-ga%3Ausers&start-date=undefined&end-date=undefined&max-results=10

move this google URL statement just before you are doing document.write(). It will solve your purpose. Its actually sequencing issue. please see the updated solution.
