Why am I getting this error on my code?

Cannot read property 'attr' of undefined`

$(document).ready(function() { 
    var currentPage = jQuery.url.attr("path");
    $(':input').blur(function () {
        if ($(this).val().length > 0) {
            pageTracker._trackEvent("Form: " + currentPage, "input_exit", $(this).attr('name'));
        } 
    });
});

• 2 jQuery.url is undefined if you do a console log(jQuery.url) you will see it's undefined – Radu Commented Feb 19, 2016 at 14:39
• What is jQuery.url? Are you using a 3rd party library as that's not a a standard property. What value are you expecting it to return. By default it will return undefined, hence calling attr() on that is throwing the error. – Rory McCrossan Commented Feb 19, 2016 at 14:40
• I don't think .attr is one of $.url's methods. – Steve Perry Commented Feb 19, 2016 at 14:40

If you do a console log on jQuery.url, you will see this is has a value of undefined.

you will needd to use location.pathname instead of jQuery.url.

Please take a look here for proper understanding

The issue is that jQuery.url is undefined. I'm not sure where you even got the idea that this property should exist, since it's not part of jQuery. To get the actual current page, you can simply get the native property

window.location.href
