javascript - Get the page file name from the address bar

Question

I was wondering if it would be possible to get the page name from the address bar using jquery or javascript. I know this can be done using PHP but don't really want to as it is only a html website.

I.e. if the address is www.mywebsite.com/hello.htm how do I get the hello.htm part out of the address.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Try this

location.pathname.substring(location.pathname.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);

location.pathname gives the part(domain not included) of the page url. To get only the filename you have to extaract it using substring method.
