help wanted: detecting http and https in javascript

[pittbug]

I would like to implement this pseudo code in javascript, can anyone give me a hand please?


if url is secure then
document.write secure-something
else
document.write non-secure something
end if

Thanks

if (location.protocol=='https:') yadayada ?????

You may have to do a substr() thingie, cuz I dunno if the location.protocol string EQUALS or CONTAINS https......

You're too quick Wit! This code, I think, will do it nicely:

var loc = document.location.href;
if(loc.indexOf("http")>-1){
document.write('Insecure');
}
if(loc.indexOf("https")>-1){
document.write('Secure');
}

Thanks for your help guys. I was using it to display the google analytics tracking code which was stored in a global footer include file. The problem is that it would show secure errors when going into https. I don't want to use 2 footer files, so this seems like the best answer:

<script type="text/javascript">
	document.write( '<scr'+'ipt type="text/javascript" src="' );
	if( document.location.toString().indexOf( 'https://' ) != -1 ) {
		document.write( 'https://ssl' );
	} else {
		document.write( 'http://www' );
	}
	document.write( '.google-analytics.com/urchin.js"><\/scr'+'ipt>' );
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-XXXXXX-X";
urchinTracker();
</script>
