http://localhost/test/

How do you define this "base" URL? Is it always the first directory in your URL, or do you have an application where this URL is defined?Pekka– Pekka2012-03-05 08:57:15 +00:00Commented Mar 5, 2012 at 8:57

You dont actually need to use jQuery. JavaScript provides this for you
var l = window.location;
var base_url = l.protocol + "//" + l.host + "/" + l.pathname.split('/')[1];

That won't give the "base" path as specified in the question though, will it? (Not that it's very clear what is wanted here in the first place.)

it gives localhost/test/test_controller/test I only want to get /test or localhost/test

@Milina you need to define more clearly what exactly you want.
You can also use this custom method :
// it will return base domain name only. e.g. yahoo.co.in
function GetBaseUrl() {
try {
var url = location.href;
var start = url.indexOf('//');
if (start < 0)
start = 0
else
start = start + 2;
var end = url.indexOf('/', start);
if (end < 0) end = url.length - start;
var baseURL = url.substring(start, end);
return baseURL;
}
catch (arg) {
return null;
}
}

If you're getting the current page's url, check out the link object.
You'll probably want document.hostname or document.host.
If your looking for the hostname of a link inside the document, see this conversation
