getting the Page URL?

[cajchris]

hi,

can someone please tell me how i can get the current url as it appears in the address bar.

is there someway in html i can do this? or do i need to use javascript or some other way?

regards,
cajchris

You can't do it just using HTML. You can do it using javascript:

<a href="javascript:alert(this.location)">Test</a>

Cheers,

What is Javascript? faq216-6094

is there any way though that i can store this as a string somewhere? as i need to apply a particular style sheet depending on what the url contains

maybe this faq i wrote will be helpful. it doesn't utilize the URL, but rather cookies.

faq216-6093

you could apply the concept to your url usage if needed.

or server-side code:
php super-global $_SERVER

<?php
 echo('current page:'.REQUEST_URI');
?>

similar principle applies to java, jsp, asp, cfm, perl, etc.

eh? I'm sure that wasn't what I meant to type...I missed the supervariable for starters!

<?php
 echo('current page:'.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
?>
