Javascript Question

Mr E

Hi all,

I need to get a particular part of a URL using javascript.
For example, take the following URL:

http://www.domainxyz.com/dir1/dir2/index.aspx?mode=edit&token=1x7g4sa032

What I need is the "index" part of the URL (i.e. the filename, minus the URL before it, or the extension (.aspx), or the parameters).

Do I need to get document.location and hack it with string functions? Or is there a better way?

- Dave.

Yeah thats the way I use anyway. You can narrow down what to search on by using document.locaiton.pathname...

var ext = document.location.pathname.substring( document.location.pathname.lastIndexOf( "." ) );
var base = document.location.pathname.substring( document.location.pathname.lastIndexOf( "/" ) + 1, document.location.pathname.lastIndexOf( "." ) );

Perfect!

Thanks a million..... I'll give that a go this morning.
