JavaScript Location Object Properties

In this JavaScript Tutorial you will learn about Properties of Location Object - hash, host, hostname, href, pathname, port, protocol and search property

The Location object contains information about the current URL. This representation is a string that denotes the different portions of the URL as below:


<protocol>//<host>[:<port>]/<pathname>[<hash>][<search>]

The location object has a number of properties and methods in it. The usage, syntax and explanation with examples of each of the properties and methods of the Location object are explained in this section and the following sections.

Properties of Location Object:

hash:

The hash property of location object starts with the symbol hash denoted as #, specifying an anchor name in an URL. The hash property is also used for returning the URL.

General syntax of hash property of location Object:


location.hash = anchorname

<
html>
   <
body>
      <script type="text/javascript">
          
document.write(location.hash);     

      </script>
   </body>
</
html>

Suppose the current URL is: http://xforsys.com/example.htm#test5
