Get path including GET variables using javascript

Question

I need to get the whole path of page (excluding the domain) so I can show it in an iframe.

I currently use location.pathname to get the path, but the problem is that they may appear GET variables in the URL.

So for a page like article.php?id=23 I get only article.php using location.pathname, thus the page displayed in the iframe is simply a 404 page.

Is there any function to get the path including GET variables?

I don't see any answer that may help, can you link to that one? — XCS

Well, no answer is helpful, I only need the path including GET variables, so hashes for example should be ignored. — XCS

Ok. Do another finding! :) Information is out there! You'll probably need some substring to select the part before the hash stackoverflow.com/questions/9513736/… — saamorim

There probably isn't an out of the box function, no.

But you can use this as a reference to create your own:

Mozilla DOM Reference

Specifically, using window.location.pathname (strip the leading "/" if you don't want it) and window.location.search to get the querystring.

i.e

function whatIWant()
{
    return  window.location.pathname.substring(1) + window.location.search;
}

location.search is exactly what I need. I'll use window.location.pathname + window.location.search thanks :).

window.location.search.replace( "?", "" );

this will return the get variables.

Answer to your question->no,there is no any built in function ,we have to make our custom function and parse it.

Get escaped URL parameter

And, what function from window.location can I use to get article.php?id=23 from www.domain.com/article.php?id=23#hash ?

You could use a regex expression if the URL stays consistent
