I have a URL like:
http://url.test.com/account/name/pages/Stuff.html
I want to take 'Stuff' and apply that as a class to body.
<body class="Stuff">
...
</body>
How can I get the current URL?
How can I extract the text 'Stuff' after the final '/'
Then add the class 'Stuff' to body?
1. url=location.href
2. fname=url.match(/.*\/(.*)\./)[1]
3. document.body.className=fname
Not the shortest of code but substring is pretty fast so...
var page = window.location.href;
page = page.substring(page.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
page = page.substring(0, page.lastIndexOf('.'));
document.body.className = page;
edited because I forgot to include part 3

I wanted to say that this question is a duplicate but I think your title expresses the problem better.
