Question

Im trying to get this complete url:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2#inbox/13047asdee8be4e1

Through the use of:

var url = document.location.toString();

But it only returns up to https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2

I have also tried other ways like document.url, window.location and it still spits out same thing.

Answer 1

Try window.location.href. Read this: window.location – MDC

Run this in console to be sure.

function showLoc()
{
  var x = window.location;
  var t = ['Property - Typeof - Value',
            'window.location - ' + (typeof x) + ' - ' + x ];
  for (var prop in x){
    t.push(prop + ' - ' + (typeof x[prop]) + ' - ' +  (x[prop] || 'n/a'));
  }
  alert(t.join('\n'));
}
showLoc();
