JavaScript – How do I get the URL of script being called?

by

From http://feather.elektrum.org/book/src.html:

var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
var index = scripts.length - 1;
var myScript = scripts[index];

The variable myScript now has the script dom element. You can get the src url by using myScript.src.

Note that this needs to execute as part of the initial evaluation of the script. If you want to not pollute the Javascript namespace you can do something like:

var getScriptURL = (function() {
    var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
    var index = scripts.length - 1;
    var myScript = scripts[index];
    return function() { return myScript.src; };
})();
