Get current URL in JavaScript?

I am using jQuery. How do I get the path of the current URL and assign it to a variable?
Example URL:
http://localhost/menuname.de?foo=bar&number=0


Answer:

To get the path, you can use:
var pathname = window.location.pathname; // Returns path only
var url      = window.location.href;     // Returns full URL
