window Location - only protocol, hostname and pathname

Question

Say I have this URL:

Is there a standard way to get the following result, without hash and search:

This is how I do it now:

var windowLocation = window.location;
alert(windowLocation.protocol + '//' + windowLocation.hostname + windowLocation.pathname);

Thanks to Bergi, this is pretty simple:

var url = "http://google.com/?search=bob#asdf";

var shorterUrl = url.split("#")[0].split("?")[0];

alert(shorterUrl);

This one won't remove hashes from URIs without a search part. – Bergi Feb 09 '12 at 02:26
@Bergi Ok I changed the fiddle – Mikey G Feb 09 '12 at 02:31
uh, I just meant change it to `url.split("?")[0].split("#")[0]` which is much more elegant? – Bergi Feb 09 '12 at 02:35
haha i see, but i think you mean `url.split("#")[0].split("?")[0]`? – Mikey G Feb 09 '12 at 02:36
Thanks Mikey, would you say this gives better performance than the example I gave? – Hakan Feb 09 '12 at 02:36
That works fine, I guess i'm just used to .net where you have to have the character in the string or it blows up... thanks – Mikey G Feb 09 '12 at 02:38
@Hakan Bergi is right, unless you're doing this a million times or something, don't worry about it – Mikey G Feb 09 '12 at 02:42
