Code: Select all
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function GetURL(srcID)
{
alert(document.location.href);
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<INPUT type="button" value="Button" id=button1 onclick="GetURL(this)">
</BODY>
</HTML>

You posed this same question a couple of days ago.
viewtopic.php?t=16799
Why use JavaScript? Why not use this:
$requested_url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
Are you trying to get the parent of a frame?

Well im trying to implement faceparty functionality so if someone types say
http://www.alljammin.com/shizzle it should diaplay shizzle's profile.
However the only way I can implement is to put a script in my custom 404 error pages which traps the page nout found error, and captures the URL, and reads the username from it, then does a redirect
