My app often needs to know the page name to pass to Google Analytics
and various other uses. Hence, from
http://dev.myapp.com/controller/action/value/
I want to get back the string "/controller/action/value/" for further
manipulation (I need to ignore the domain).
I can do this as follows:
var Url = {
getPage: function() {
var segments
document.location.href.split(''/'').slice(3).findAll(function(x){
return !x.empty()
});
return
''/''.segments.join(''/'').''/'';
}
}
document.location.getPage = Url.getPage;
but I reckon there must be a more elegant way - can someone tell me
what it is? Does prototype have anything special to say about
document.location and it''s properties?

Why can''t you just use "document.location.pathname"? http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:window.location - kangax On May 22, 5:57 am, azymuth <david.winterbot...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> My app often needs to know the page name to pass to Google Analytics > and various other uses.

No reason at all - apart from my previous ignorance of that property (now corrected). Cheers.
