The AngularJS way - fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/PT5BG/4/

    



Parse URL using AngularJS

url: 


    
href = {{parser.href}}
    
protocol = {{parser.protocol}}
    
host = {{parser.host}}
    
hostname = {{parser.hostname}}
    
port = {{parser.port}}
    
pathname = {{parser.pathname}}
    
hash = {{parser.hash}}
    
search = {{parser.search}}
