Hi

You have lots of examples describing how to use the Javascript client object model on MSDN:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh185015

Here's a small example that gets the current site:

var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();
context.load(web);
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.ExecuteOnSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.ExecuteOnFailure)); 

function ExecuteOnSuccess(sender, args) 
{ 
 alert('Success'); 
}

function ExecuteOnFailure(sender, args) { 
  alert("Error"); 
}

Hi AlexMathew,

You can use HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.
