get relative URL with javascript

Question

Is there an easy way to get the relative url with javascript? Im trying to use window.location.href but it returns the absolute path.

What im trying to do is this: I have two pages; mobile.html and desktop.html. I want to use ONE javascript-file to detect whether the user is on a mobile or desktop (I know, this is not a very good way to do it..) like this:

var is_mobile = //alot of text from http://detectmobilebrowsers.com/
                //that returns true/false, this works fine

if (is_mobile){

    if (window.location.href != "mobile.html"){
        window.location = "mobile.html";
    }
}

else {
    if (window.location.href != "desktop.html"){
        window.location ="desktop.html";
    }
}

So the problem with absolute path is that when testing either mobile/desktop.html they both go into infinite loop pagerefresh..

Answer 1

var page = window.location.pathname.split('/').pop();

if (isMobile && page !== 'mobile.html')
    window.location = 'mobile.html';
else if (!isMobile && page !== 'desktop.html')
    window.location = 'desktop.html';

Answer 2

Just test if it ends with either HTML file. You could use regular expressions:

if(/desktop\.html$/.test(window.location.href)) {
     // code for desktop
} else if(/mobile\.html$/.test(window.location.href)) {
     // code for mobile
}
