How to check if the URL contains a given string

Question

How could I do something like this:[removed]$(document).ready(function () { if[removed].contains("franky")) // This doesn't work, any suggestions? { alert("your url contains the name franky"); }});[removed]

To check if the URL contains a given string you can use indexOf like this:

    if[removed].href.indexOf("franky") != -1){....}

Also notice the addition of href for the string otherwise you would do:

    if[removed].toString().indexOf("franky") != -1){....}
