IDing folder name using Javascript

i'd like to find a javascript that can specify the foldername a page
finds itself within.

i'm not a Javascript expert, but i know this can be done by saving the
full URL into a string, then using a decrementing array to locate the
foldername within the URL.

is there a better way in javascript? does anyone know where i can find
a currently working script i might look at?

URL = URL.replace(/\/[^\/]*$/,'')
