jQuery check current url

Question

We are on page 'http://site.com/movies/moviename/'

How can we know, is there /movies/ in current url (directly after site's root)?

---

Code should give:

True for 'http://site.com/movies/moviename/'

And false for 'http://site.com/person/brad-pitt/movies/'

---

Thanks.

You can try the String object's indexOf method:

var url = window.location.href;
var host = window.location.host;
if(url.indexOf('http://' + host + '/movies') != -1) {
   //match
}
