Name
URL — NN 3 IE 4 DOM n/a
Synopsis
Read/Write
The URL of the current document. The value is the same as
location.href. Netscape deprecates the usage of
the document.location property in favor of the
document.URL property to avoid potential confusion
(by scripters and JavaScript interpreter engines) between the
location object and
document.location property. To navigate to another
page, it is safest (for cross-browser and backward compatibility) to
assign a URL string value to the location.href
property, rather than this document-centered property.
Example
document.URL = "http://www.megacorp.com"
Value
Complete or relative URL as a string.
Default
The current document’s URL.
