window.location - How about just the domain?

Hello Bill,

window.location is an object. It evaluates to a String.
But that object has several properies.
In your case you should use:  window.location.domain


Look also for: window.location.URL and window.location.href

Good luck,

Here more details:

Uhps! It looks like window.location.domain is not a property.
Try then:
  window.location.host

Try also:
  document.domain

Here the description:

Do not thrust those properties too much. Not all browsers fill them. In Opera for one you cannot really rely on anything but location.href.

So for the domain I would do a quick parse:

var temp = window.location.href.split("/");
var domain = temp[2];               // you may still need to peel of port number and such.

I cant get any of these to work for some reason, maybe I cant use it in the spot I want to .... see below

<script language="JavaScript">
if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") && (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4)) {
      document.write("<A HREF=\"javascript:window.external.AddFavorite(window.location.href);\" ");
      document.write("onMouseOver=\"window.status=");
      document.write("'Bookmark this site'; return true;\" ");
      document.write("onMouseOut=\"window.status=");
      document.write("' '; return true;\"");
      document.write("><img src=\"/images/browser_settings/bookmark_ie.gif\" width=\"186\" border=\"0\" height=\"30\"></a>");
}
else {
      document.write("<img src=\"/images/browser_settings/bookmark_other.gif\" width=\"186\" border=\"0\" height=\"30\">");
      }
</script>

Also by chance where in this code would I put the name of the bookmark?

Thanks Guys

Its in this line that Im trying to make it work

document.write("<A HREF=\"javascript:window.external.AddFavorite(window.location.href);\" ");

try this:
document.write("<A HREF=\"#\" onclick=\"window.external.AddFavorite(window.location.href);return false\" ");
