How to get current url without page in javascript or jquery

Question

How can I get current URL without page in Javascript or jQuery.

For example, if the url is:

http://www.abc.com/music/pop.aspx

I want to get the full path without the page so like:

http://www.abc.com/music/

No need to worry about parameters.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can use substring() to extract the desired part of url.

Live Demo

urlBase = url.substring(0, url.lastIndexOf('/')+1);

You can use window.location.href to get the current url

urlBase = location.href.substring(0, location.href.lastIndexOf("/")+1)

Answer 2

Use window.location and substring.

location.href.substring(0, location.href.lastIndexOf("/"))
