Get ID from URL with jQuery

Question

I've got a url like this:

http://www.site.com/234234234 

I need to grab the Id after /, so in this case 234234234

How can i do this easily?

Answer 1

Get a substring after the last index of /.

var url = 'http://www.site.com/234234234'; var id = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf('/') + 1); alert(id); // 234234234 

It's just basic JavaScript, no jQuery involved.

Answer 2

var url = window.location.pathname; var id = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
