Q: Take end part of document.referrer

[slayerment]

If I have the url 'http://www.myurl.com/section/about_us.php' is there a way (I'm thinking the best is via document.referrer) to only grab 'about_us.php' I'm thinking if there was a way to take everything from the end to the first / then it would work. Is something like this possible?

I basically want to grab my content pages so I can stick them in a different interface and to do this I need just the end part of the url.

Thanks!

Yep:

var str = 'http://www.myurl.com/section/about_us.php';
var start = str.lastIndexOf("/") + 1;
var page = str.substring(start);
alert(page);

Here is another way that will allow you to gain a millisecond )

var str = 'http://www.myurl.com/section/about_us.php';
var page = str.split("\/")[str.split("\/").length-1]
alert(page);

Using FF1.0, on my system my method is twice as fast as yours, and of course yours is probably incomprehensible to a beginner, so I'm going to have to dock you 10pts for speed of execution, and 10pts for clarity.

well at least my method allows also to retrieve every folder level of path ...
how many points is that worth ?
