Get current URL with jQuery?
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&number=0
To get the path, you can use:
var pathname = window.location.pathname; // Returns path only (/path/example.html)
var url = window.location.href; // Returns full URL (https://example.com/path/example.html)
var origin = window.location.origin; // Returns base URL (https://example.com)
In pure jQuery style:
$(location).attr('href');
The location object also has other properties, like host, hash, protocol, and pathname.
.attr() on location. (1) It's not an element, so $(location) is shady at best, and (2) even if it worked, you should be using .prop() to get properties. .attr() is for HTML attributes.
http://www.refulz.com:8082/index.php#tab2?foo=789
Property Result
------------------------------------------
host www.refulz.com:8082
hostname www.refulz.com
port 8082
protocol http:
pathname index.php
href http://www.refulz.com:8082/index.php#tab2
hash #tab2
search ?foo=789
var x = $(location).attr('<property>');
This will work only if you have jQuery. For example:
<html>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(location).attr('href'); // http://www.refulz.com:8082/index.php#tab2
$(location).attr('pathname'); // index.php
</script>
</html>
/index.php instead of index.php for the pathname.
attr is supposed to only be used on DOM objects, for things which can be set by using HTML attributes.
If you need the hash parameters present in the URL, window.location.href may be a better choice.
window.location.pathname
=> /search
window.location.href
=> www.website.com/search#race_type=1
window.location.hash
You'll want to use JavaScript's built-in window.location object.
window.location.pathname does not retrieve anything after the ?
Just add this function in JavaScript, and it will return the absolute path of the current path.
function getAbsolutePath() {
var loc = window.location;
var pathName = loc.pathname.substring(0, loc.pathname.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
return loc.href.substring(0, loc.href.length - ((loc.pathname + loc.search + loc.hash).length - pathName.length));
}
I hope it works for you.
var pathName = loc.pathname.substring(0, loc.pathname.lastIndexOf('/'));
window.location is an object in javascript. it returns following data
window.location.host #returns host
window.location.hostname #returns hostname
window.location.path #return path
window.location.href #returns full current url
window.location.port #returns the port
window.location.protocol #returns the protocol
in jquery you can use
$(location).attr('host'); #returns host
$(location).attr('hostname'); #returns hostname
$(location).attr('path'); #returns path
$(location).attr('href'); #returns href
$(location).attr('port'); #returns port
$(location).attr('protocol'); #returns protocol
windo.location.origin ?
This is a more complicated issue than many may think. Several browsers support built-in JavaScript location objects and associated parameters/methods accessible through window.location or document.location. However, different flavors of Internet Explorer (6,7) don't support these methods in the same way, (window.location.href? window.location.replace() not supported) so you have to access them differently by writing conditional code all the time to hand-hold Internet Explorer.
So, if you have jQuery available and loaded, you might as well use jQuery (location), as the others mentioned because it resolves these issues. If however, you are doing-for an example-some client-side geolocation redirection via JavaScript (that is, using Google Maps API and location object methods), then you may not want to load the entire jQuery library and write your conditional code that checks every version of Internet Explorer/Firefox/etc.
Internet Explorer makes the front-end coding cat unhappy, but jQuery is a plate of milk.
For the host name only, use:
window.location.hostname
This will also work:
var currentURL = window.location.href;
java-script provides many methods to retrieve current URL which is displayed in browser's address bar.

protocol « Web-browsers use Internet Protocol by following some rules for communication between WebHosted Applications and Web Client(Browser). (http = 80, https (SSL) = 443, ftp = 21, etc.)
EX: With default port numbers

You can log window.location and see all the options, for just the URL use:
window.location.origin
for the whole path use:
window.location.href
there's also location.__
.host
.hostname
.protocol
.pathname
I have this to strip out the GET variables.
var loc = window.location;
var currentURL = loc.protocol + '//' + loc.host + loc.pathname;
If there is someone who wants to concatenate the URL and hash tag, combine two functions:
var pathname = window.location.pathname + document.location.hash;
You can simply get your path using js itself, window.location or location will give you the object of current URL
console.log("Origin - ",location.origin); console.log("Entire URL - ",location.href); console.log("Path Beyond URL - ",location.pathname);
All browsers support Javascript window object. It defines the window of the browser.
The global objects and functions become part of the window object automatically.
All global variables are window objects properties and all global functions are its methods.
The whole HTML document is a window property too.
So you can use window.location object to get all url related attributes.
Javascript
console.log(window.location.host); //returns host console.log(window.location.hostname); //returns hostname console.log(window.location.pathname); //return path console.log(window.location.href); //returns full current url console.log(window.location.port); //returns the port console.log(window.location.protocol) //returns the protocol
JQuery
console.log("host = "+$(location).attr('host')); console.log("hostname = "+$(location).attr('hostname')); console.log("pathname = "+$(location).attr('pathname')); console.log("href = "+$(location).attr('href')); console.log("port = "+$(location).attr('port')); console.log("protocol = "+$(location).attr('protocol'));
location.pathname where you are using location.path -- does this answer need to be updated?
var currenturl = jQuery(location).attr('href');
Here is an example to get the current URL using jQuery and JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function() {
//jQuery
$(location).attr('href');
//Pure JavaScript
var pathname = window.location.pathname;
// To show it in an alert window
alert(window.location);
});
$.getJSON("idcheck.php?callback=?", { url:$(location).attr('href')}, function(json){
//alert(json.message);
});
To get the URL of the parent window from within an iframe:
$(window.parent.location).attr('href');
NB: only works on same domain
The following are examples of useful code snippets that can be used – some of the examples use standard JavaScript functions and are not specific to jQuery:
See 8 Useful jQuery Snippets For URL’s & Querystrings.
var path = location.pathname returns the path of the current URL (jQuery is not needed). The use of window.location is optional.
If you want to get the path of the root site, use this:
$(location).attr('href').replace($(location).attr('pathname'),'');
.replace('#.*', '')? Remove not just the hash mark but everything after it as well?
See purl.js. This will really help and can also be used, depending on jQuery. Use it like this:
$.url().param("yourparam");
Very Commonly Used top 3 ones are
1. window.location.hostname
2. window.location.href
3. window.location.pathname
var newURL = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host + "/" + window.location.pathname;
By the following code you can get the current URL in Jquery.
$(location).attr('hostname'); //origin URL
$(location).attr('pathname'); // path name
$(location).attr('hash'); // everything comes after hash
// get current URL
$(location).attr('href');
var pathname = window.location.pathname;
alert(window.location);
