jQuery Get Current Page URL
Share
jQuery code snippet to get the current web page full url and store it in a variable for use with other scripts. This is the url you see in your address bar.
$(document).ready(function() {
//jquery
$(location).attr('href');
//pure javascript
var pathname = window.location.pathname;
// to show it in an alert window
alert(window.location);
});
There is also this function that may help when determining absolute paths.
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));
}
