Code:
<script language=JavaScript>
function getLocation() {
var str = String(window.location);
return str.substr(str.lastIndexOf("/") + 1, str.length - str.lastIndexOf("/"));
}
</script>
<body>
<form name=blahForm>
<input type=button value='click me' onclick='alert(getLocation())'>
</form>
</body>-kaht
You started off on the right foot with location.pathname. You then need to take this string and trim it down to just the file. Try this as a solution...

Code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function testURL()
{
var myPath = location.pathname;
if (myPath.lastIndexOf("/") > -1) return (myPath.substr(myPath.lastIndexOf("/")+1));
return (myPath);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:alert(testURL());">Test</a>
</body>
</html>If you were to put this on your web server at the following URL:
Then clicking the "test" url on the page would alert "somefile.htm".
