What is my script src URL?

by

Put this in the js file that needs to know it’s own url.

Fully Qualified (eg http://www.example.com/js/main.js):

var scriptSource = (function(scripts) {
    var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script'),
        script = scripts[scripts.length - 1];

    if (script.getAttribute.length !== undefined) {
        return script.src
    }

    return script.getAttribute('src', -1)
}());

Or
As it appears in source (eg /js/main.js):

var scriptSource = (function() {
    var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script'),
        script = scripts[scripts.length - 1];

    if (script.getAttribute.length !== undefined) {
        return script.getAttribute('src')
    }

    return script.getAttribute('src', 2)
}());

See http://www.glennjones.net/Post/809/getAttributehrefbug.htm for explanation of the getAttribute parameter being used (it’s an IE bug).
