window.location.origin will provide the domain part of the URL. Then you can append your path.

For example:

// Prints "http://stackoverflow.com"
console.log(window.location.origin);

I need the exact path down to the level: http://example.com/wp-content/themes/example/js/ this because the theme name can be changed. – JohnSmith May 29 '13 at 12:19
Where does the theme name come from? You could pass that down into the Javascript file. – CodingIntrigue May 29 '13 at 12:20

You can use document.location.hostname to return your hostname. For example, if you would run it on SO, its value would be stackoverflow.com.

Also you can use:

alert(document.URL);

Get current URL in web browser
