I would like to get the image name out of the address.
This is the value I with the JavaScript:
http://localhost:51557/img/column-sortable.png
document.getElementById("ctl00_contentHolder_iSortColumn").value = columnNumber;
alert(imageName);
Whats the best way to get column-sortable.png out of the string?
As long as there's never anything after the image name in the URL (no query string or hash) then the following should work:
var str = "http://localhost:51557/img/column-sortable.png";
alert(str.substring(str.lastIndexOf('/') + 1));
Please refer to the split function:
var url = http://localhost:51557/img/column-sortable.png;
var elementArray = url.split('/');
var imageName = elementArray[elementArray.length - 1];
If you want to try using Regex, check this out.
var imgURL = "http://localhost:51557/img/column-sortable.png";
var imageName = imgURL.replace( /^.*?([^/]+\..+?)$/, '$1' );
alert(imageName);
