Question

Can anyone help me. I don’t use Client-side Javascript often with HTML.

I would like to grab the current url (but only a specific directory) and place the results between a link.

So if the url is /fare/pass/index.html

I want the HTML to be <a href="#" id="whatever">pass</a>

This is a quick and dirty way to do that:

//splits the document.location.href property into an array
var loc_array=document.location.href.split('/');

//have firebug? try a console.log(loc_array);

//this selects the next-to-last member of the array.
var directory=loc[loc.length-2]
