I have a html file which stores which suppose to store the absoluteUrl whose content is this :

<html>
<head><title>Root URL variable</title></head>
<body>
<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="1">
<thead>
<tr><td rowspan="1" colspan="3">Root URL variable</td></tr>
</thead><tbody>

<tr>
    <td>store</td>
    <td>javascript{window.location;}</td>
    <td>rootUrl</td>
</tr>

</tbody></table> 
</body>
</html>

The problem arises when I try to replace window.location with var loc = window.location; I am getting this error

Command execution failure. Please search the forum at http://clearspace.openqa.org for error details from the log window. The error message is: eval(match1) is undefined

That is the first issue. Second issue is that I would like to get the absolute path using javascript and try to store as the rootUrl variable. Any solution suggestions will be handy(If the first problem is solved I am planning to try solution similar to the one here by Neville Bonavia i.e. 

function getAbsolutePath() {
var loc = window.location;
var pathName = loc.pathname.substring(0, loc.pathname.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
return loc.href.substring(0, loc.href.length - ((loc.pathname + loc.search + loc.hash).length - pathName.length));

}

    When Selenium is running this refers to the Selenium object which means that you won’t have direct access to window or document.

    To get direct access you will need to do this.browserbot.getUserWindow(). That returns you the window object on the page and then you can make your usual calls.

    e.g.

    var window = this.browserbot.getUserWindow();
return window.location;
