Answer 1

I think you want

window.location.pathname

This would give you /index.com

To get rid of the leading /, you could simply use substring:

window.location.pathname.substring(1);

Ovolo

console.log(window.location.pathname.substring(1)); putting this one on my js says that is getting www.nicadpower.com/index.php – Mump

thanks ord! now is works good. i just added more integer on the substring. thanks a lot! – Mump

Answer 2

Here is another trick that you can use. You can split the pathname parts using split method, like that:

If you have the url: www.nicadpower.com/posts/2012

Using: window.location.pathname.split('/')

You'll Give: ["", "posts", "2012"]
