Hi experts:

I am writing script in UI Action client script.

I want the URL domain in my script.

I have tried "window.location.host", but browser displayed "Cannot read property 'location' of null".

However, if I enter "window.location.host" in browser console, this command works.

Anyone could help?

The answer suggesting to use "this.location.origin" didn't work for me in 2025, so I had to use this instead:

g_GlideUI.topWindow.location.origin

 The g_GlideUI.topWindow should get you access to the "window" and all its tasty goodness that SN has munged to prevent us from doing so...  😉
