Javascript echo window.location

Question

window.location = 'http://...';

now I want to assign this location path to a variable, as a normal text string. I want to achieve:

var Path = 'http://...';

i tried to use:

var Path = window.location;

but I get, as this var value:

function Path() { [native code] }

while I want to have the location text string as its value..

Answer 1

You want location.href. The location object is rather more complicated than a simple string.

Answer 2

This should work (though I didn't test):

var path = window.location.href;
