Question

I am using this to get the current url using jquery var current_link = location).attr('href'); but when I try to display this link, just for debugging by

var current_link = $(location).attr('href');
    alert(current_link);

I get an alert of undefined. If I use this script in JSFiddle, I am getting the correct link. Is it s a problem of the django development server or by my browser or something else. Seems to be very confusing.

Why don’t you just do location.href ?

You don’t need jQuery to get the current url.

var current_link = location.href
alert(current_link);

This has nothing to do with django 🙂
