Window Location

Window Location

The window.location object can be used to get information on the current page address (URL) and to redirect the browser to a new page.

The window.location object can be written without the window prefix, as just location.

Some examples:

  • window.location.href returns the href (URL) of the current page
  • window.location.hostname returns the domain name of the web host
  • window.location.host returns both the host name and any associated port
  • window.location.pathname returns the path and filename of the current page
  • window.location.protocol returns the web protocol used (http: or https:)
  • window.location.assign() loads a new document
