HTML | DOM Location origin Property

Last Updated : 05 Jul, 2022

The DOM Location origin Property in HTML is used to return the protocol, hostname and port number of a URL. This is a read-only property.

Syntax:

location.origin

Return Value: This method returns a String value representing the protocol, the domain name (or IP address) and port number. The URL’s having the ‘file://’ protocol may return different values depending on the browser.

Note: Some browsers may not display the port number.

Below examples illustrate the above method:
