Javascript to get URL of page

In my project, today i need to get the URL of the page, i used a small Javascript to implement it. In Javascript location object contains information about the current URL. It is supported by all the major browsers.
The location object is part of the window object and is accessed through the window.location property. Quite simple script to do this is :


<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    document.write (document.location.href);
</script>

Properties of Location Object

hash	Returns the anchor portion of a URL
host	Returns the hostname and port of a URL
hostname	Returns the hostname of a URL
href	Returns the entire URL
pathname	Returns the path name of a URL
port	Returns the port number the server uses for a URL
protocol	Returns the protocol of a URL
search	Returns the query portion of a URL

Note : Please note that this won't work if you are using frames in your page.
