(I wrote this post at my old job. Since IE6 will be around for some time to come, the techniques in use here are still useful going forward as more and more designers are going to want to use Transparent PNGs in their designs. I’m going to add onto this article at some point in the near future to fully flesh out all the possibilities. See PART 2 of this article)

Javascript: Parse Domain Name out of a String
Did I mention that the “Web” category might contain code? It might. In fact, it will.
Here’s a random function I wrote last night that might be useful
function getDomain (thestring) {
//simple function that matches the beginning of a URL
//in a string and then returns the domain.
var urlpattern = new RegExp("(http|ftp|https)://(.*?)/.*$");
var parsedurl = thestring.match(urlpattern);
return parsedurl[2];
}
Is there a better way to do that? I don’t know. The momentum of “I’ve got to get this done”, got in the way and left me with the above function.
