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

for example


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

      </script>
   </body>
</html>

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

Then the output of the above program is


#test5

The location.hash in document.write takes the symbol starting from hash in the current URL and displays it giving the output as #test5

host:

The property of location objects are used for setting or returning the hostname and port number of the current URL.

General syntax of host property of location Object:


location.host

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

      </script>
   </body>
</html>

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