Get page url using javascript

Question

Could someone recommend a way to get page name from a url using JavaScript?

For instance if I have:

http://www.cnn.com/news/1234/news.html?a=1&b         


        

Answer 1

I think it's

window.location.pathname.replace(/^.*\/([^/]*)/, "$1");

So,

var pageTitle = window.location.pathname.replace(/^.*\/([^/]*)/, "$1");
