jquery, domain, get URL

Question

How can I get the domain name with jquery ??

Answer 1

If you need from string, like me, use this function - it really works.

function getHost(url)
{
    var a = document.createElement('a');
    a.href = url;
    return a.hostname;
}

But note, if there is a subdomain (e.g. www.) in the URL it will get returned with the hostname. Conversely, if there is no subdomain the hostname will not have one either.
