Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

You don't need jQuery for that, just use plain javascript:

    var url = document.location.href;
    var name = url.substring(
                   url.lastIndexOf("/")+1
               ,   url.lastIndexOf(".")
               );

But you must use url.lastIndexOf(".php") instead of ".html"

Answer 2

+3 A:

You'd probably be better off doing this on the server side, by applying a different CSS file, depending on which page you are on.

Depending on the platform that you are developing for - PHP, Java, ASP.NET, etc - there will be different ways of acheiving this.

A server side approach will work whether javascript is enabled on the client or not.

EDIT: I see that you have php file extensions, so I guess that you're developing for PHP - RTFP, Bob!

+1- this is the better way of handling this IMO

Answer 3

A:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var pathname = window.location.pathname;
    var pathname_no_php = pathname.replace(/\.php$/i, "");
    // => http://dan.manfredman.net/site/user/location/users

    var pathname_splitted = pathname_no_php.split("/")._reverse()[0]
    // => 'users'

    $("body").attr("id", pathname_splitted);
});

Answer 4

A:

why don't have a div and change the class using the jquery, and the css will follow automatically. you can hide some portions using css if you don't want and show the others. Changing the whole page might cause user noticing that the menu appeared earlier and disappeared.
