Need JS Help

[Nathan]

Hey everyone :gl:

I'm using some JavaScript on one of my sites, and I am stuck on something.

Basically I have an external js file that is loaded on all my pages and handles some things that are done on every page. On certain pages, I need to be able to know what (whose) page it is. I have a folder with individual member pages that are all .php files. So what I want to do is get the URL of the current page, and check for part of the url (/members/CURRENTMEMBERSPAGE.php) so I know what page it is currently on.

So basically I need a way to check if something exists in the location object.

One thing you can do is use regular expressions to match the part of the URL, like you need.

Thanks nasaboy. However I feel kind of stupid now, I just ended up using the match() method on my object. Seems to be working great

var currentPage = location.href;

if (currentPage.match('Phaethon'))
{
//My code
}

Oh, that's a much better solution to your problem. Most definitely more efficient, codewise.
