JavaScript: Get the website URL (loading page)

JavaScript Basic: Exercise-12 with Solution

Get Current Website URL

Write a JavaScript program to get the website URL (loading page).

The JavaScript program utilizes the document.URL property to retrieve the current website's URL. It then displays this URL in an alert dialog box, allowing users to see the URL of the page they are currently viewing. This property provides the URL of the document where the script is running.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

// Log the current website URL to the console
alert(document.URL);
