Question

I have a url similiar to this:

www.mysite.com/products/

I was using this to test against the pathname:

if (/\/products\//.test(window.location)) {
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/products/landing']);
}

But the problem I was running into was the above would execute for sub-folders as well, which I do not want:

www.mysite.com/products/sub-folder/

I’m thinking window.location.pathname will help me out more than the above jQuery. But I’m unsure how to target only the top-level directory, and not the sub directories within it?

Add a $ at the end of your regexp:

if (/\/products\/$/.test(window.location)) {
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/products/landing']);
}
