Get current URL with jQuery?

Question

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&nu         


        

Answer 1

// get current URL

$(location).attr('href');
var pathname = window.location.pathname;
alert(window.location);

Answer 2

In jstl we can access current url path using pageContext.request.contextPath, If you want to do a ajax call,

  url = "${pageContext.request.contextPath}" + "/controller/path"

Ex: in the page http://stackoverflow.com/questions/406192 this will give http://stackoverflow.com/controller/path

Answer 3

var newURL = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host + "/" + window.location.pathname;

Answer 4

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)

Answer 5

This will return the absolute URL of the current page using JavaScript/jQuery.

• document.URL

• $("*").context.baseURI

• location.href

Answer 6

Use window.location.href. This will give you the complete URL.
