What I get from location.href is like this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask

But I only want to get questions/ask

Answer 1

The location object has a pathname property.

This will give you /questions/ask and to remove the first character, use substring(1):

var path = location.pathname.substring(1);

Answer 2

location.pathname.substr(1) would that be.

Answer 3

You can use location.pathname.substring(1)

Answer 4

var uri = window.location.href.substr(window.location.protocol.length + window.location.hostname.length + 2);

This code also includes GET and HASHTAGS (basically everything after hostname)
