Jquery: Getting certain url path using window.location

Question

Our url pathname is

www.nicadpower.com/index.com

but we only want to get the pathname after www.nicadpower.com which is

index.com

how can we get index.com using window.location and jquery

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);

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"]
