Determining current domain in Javascript 1

[ChrisRChamberlain]

Hi all

Following snippet will redirect to mysite.com but have a single website accessible also as mysite.net., mysite.org, etc.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
     <!--
     window.setTimeout('window.location="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.com/index.html";[/URL] ',5000);
     // -->
 </script>

Would like to add a variable, say var this_domain, to which would be assigned the current domain, and then use

'window.location=this_domain+"/index.html"; '

or similar.

Uncertain as to how to assign the domain value to the variable?

TIA

Something like this should do it:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
     <!--
     var myDomain = document.domain + '/index.php';
     window.setTimeout('window.location="[URL unfurl="true"]http://'[/URL] + myDomain + '"; ',5000);
     // -->
</script>

Actually, you might even get away with this:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
     <!--
     var newPage = '/index.php';
     window.setTimeout('window.location="' + newPage + '"; ',5000);
     // -->
</script>

Sorry, for the numerous posts. These are the best (i.e. most accurate) of my examples...

The following ensures that any folder names in the original URL are retained by using the "." notation.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
     <!--
     var myDomain = './index.php';
     window.setTimeout('window.location="' + myDomain + '"; ',5000);
     // -->
</script>

The following is a more accurate way to retrieve the protocol, domain and path.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
     <!--
     var myDomain = location.protocol + '//' +
                    location.hostname +
                    location.pathname.substring(0, location.pathname.lastIndexOf('/')) +
                    '/index.php';
     window.setTimeout('window.location="' + myDomain + '"; ',5000);
     // -->
</script>

Many thanks for your responses!

Last alternative seems to be the most robust, so have adopted it.
