Current URL without parameters, hash, http(s)://

Question

I'm looking for a neat way of getting the URL of the current document in Javascript.

• The URL should be clean of parameters (?parameter1=bla&parameter2=bla)
• The URL should be clean of hash tags (#jumppoint)
• http/https should be removed/consolidated into http

I know i can get the current URL with location.href and then use some regular expressions to clean it up but maybe there is a nicer/cleaner solution for getting rid of the junk?

Answer 1

This page indicates that you could probably use window.location.host to get the part you're actually interested in. I haven't tested it, though.

Answer 2

Try:

window.location.hostname;
