Get current URL in JavaScript?

2282

I am using jQuery. How do I get the path of the current URL and assign it to a variable?

Example URL:

http://localhost/menuname.de?foo=bar&amp;number=0

To get the path, you can use:

var pathname = window.location.pathname; // Returns path only
var url      = window.location.href;     // Returns full URL

In pure jQuery style:

$(location).attr('href');

The location object also has other properties, like host, hash, protocol, and pathname.
