Use Javascript/Jquery to to strip down a dynamic URL

Question

I have this function:

popstate = function(url){
$('#ajaxloadcontent').load(url+"#ajaxloadcontent > *");
}

I need it to get the current page URL, lets just call that: "http://www.pearlsquirrel.com/index.php"

I then need to somehow use jquery and strip down the URL to just what is after "http://www.pearlsquirrel.com/" and be left with "index.php." Is there any kind of jquery or javascript function that would be able to help me do this?

Also, if it were to just get "http://www.pearlsquirrel.com," I would need the function also set the URL to a default index.php.

Yeah pathname is what you're looking for. Also to get it without the initial slash var path = window.location.pathname.substr(1);
