Question

I know I can read the hash value of a URL with javascript/jquery. But is is possible that I can read the trailing bit? Finding the last piece of the URL

I have a domain. http://www.blah.com/
each section of the domain resides under a URL that is slug like “this-page” example

http://www.blah.com/service/
(with or without the trailing slash) But I want to know if I can find “service” in the URL with JavaScript, without Server Side intervention. I know I could do it if I had
http://www.blah.com/#service

I don’t know Im just curious, I really don’t know what I would look for otherwise so this is my first stop in my search cause I am clueless..

var p = location.pathname;
p = p.substring(p.length-1) == '/' ? p.substring(0, p.length-1) : p;
p.split('/').pop();
