See the window.location object.

Depending on whether you want the hash, query string etc there are many different properties available.

For instance, on this page;

window.location.hash: "#11537761";
window.location.host: "stackoverflow.com";
window.location.hostname: "stackoverflow.com";
window.location.href: "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11537718/how-to-determine-the-page-url-at-run-time-in-javascript/11537761#11537761";
window.location.origin: "http://stackoverflow.com";
window.location.pathname: "/questions/11537718/how-to-determine-the-page-url-at-run-time-in-javascript/11537761";
