window location pathname will get you the directory  as well as the page name  You could then use  substring   to get the directory   var loc   window location pathname  var dir   loc substring 0  loc lastIndexOf          Hope this helps

An interesting approach to get the dirname of the current URL is to make use of your browser s built-in path resolution  You can do that by   Create a link to    i e  the current directory Use the HTMLAnchorElement interface of the link to get the resolved URL or path equivalent to     Here s one line of code that does just that  Object assign document createElement  a     href        pathname  In contrast to some of the other solutions presented here  the result of this method will always have a trailing slash  E g  running it on this page will yield  questions 3151436   running it on https   stackoverflow com  will yield    It s also easy to get the full URL instead of the path  Just read the href property instead of pathname  Finally  this approach should work in even the most ancient browsers if you don t use Object assign  function getCurrentDir          var link   document createElement  a        link href            return link pathname
