Re: Perfect compromise

This is a flexible version of this code I just wrote. It's supposed to return
different parts of the URL based on your needs.. might be overkill for most
people *shrug*


function getPath ( part ) {
// Purpose: return the requested URL Path from the document URL
// Called: Helper function
var path = "";
var arrProtoSplit = document.URL.split('://');
var arrSlashSplit = arrProtoSplit [ 1 ].split ( '/' );
for ( var x = 1; x < arrSlashSplit.length; x++ ) {
if ( arrSlashSplit [ x ].indexOf ( '.nsf' ) != '-1' ) { db =
arrSlashSplit [ x ] ; break; }
else { path = path + arrSlashSplit [ x ] + "/"; }
}

if ( part == "proto" ) return arrProtoSplit [ 0 ]
else if ( part == "serverName" ) return arrSlashSplit [ 0 ]
else if ( part == "path" ) return path
else if ( part == "dbName" ) return db
else if ( part == "thisServer" ) return arrProtoSplit [ 0 ] + "://" +
arrSlashSplit [ 0 ]
else if ( part == "thisDB" ) return arrProtoSplit [ 0 ] + "://" +
arrSlashSplit [ 0 ] + "/" + path + db
else return document.URL
}
