How do you get the address of the page you are on in JavaScript?
For example, if i had a script at somesite.com/javascript/home.html and I want to find out the request address (somesite.com/javascript/home.html) how do I get this information in javascript ?
You need to use: document.location; or window.location;
You can read more here. Or there is a little more explanation over there.
For clarifying matter:

EDIT: Christoph is correct.
I believe that either the window.location.href or the window.location.pathname objects will have this information...someone could confirm or deny that though...
Use window.location for read and write access to the location object associated with the current frame. If you just want to get the address as a read-only string, you may use document.URL, which should contain the same value as window.location.href.
