Hi I tried to get the base URL and file path from my windows URL..But I cant get it..Please correct me..

The URL is:

:30023/portal/site/samples/index.jsp

The current output is: :30023/index.jsp?

The required output is: :30023/portal/site/samples/

Code used :

var baseURL = location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + (location.port && ":" + location.port) + "/";

• javascript
• html

• 1 It appears from your code used that the current output can't possibly end with 'index.jsp'. – Peter Herdenborg Commented Jan 31, 2013 at 13:15
• The safer way is to use base tag (see w3schools./tags/tag_base.asp) and getting in js with document.querySelector('head > base').getAttribute('href'). – Jerome2606 Commented Oct 11, 2016 at 13:02

add location.pathname, so it bees

var baseURL = location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + (location.port && ":" + location.port) + location.pathname;

Also, why not simply use location.href to get the whole thing?

Good reference at https://developer.mozilla/en-US/docs/DOM/window.location

Maybe somthing like this:

var sBase = location.href.substr(0, location.href.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
