How do you get the address of the page you are on in JavaScript?

For example, if I had a script at somesite.com/javascript/home.html and I want to find out the request address (somesite.com/javascript/home.html), how do I get this information in JavaScript?

Answer 1

You need to use: document.location or window.location

You can read more here. Or there is a little more explanation over there.

For clarifying matter:
