Hi, 
I am trying to assign the current DNN page name to a variable in javascript, but I cannot find the correct coding.
I searched the web but I only found this usage, but is doesn't work. 

<script type="text/javascript">
var tabName = <% =TabName %>;
</script>

I am using DNN PLATFORM v.09.01.01 and 4.6.NET FRAMEWORK

What would be the correct way to assign the current page name to a variable in javascript?

Thanks,
Craig

I think you should be able to use: TabController.CurrentPage.TabName

Also be sure to put quotes or apostrophe's around it.

<script type="text/javascript">
var tabName = '<% =TabController.CurrentPage.TabName %>';
</script>

Nope it didn't work. I am using document.title for now, but I really want to use PageName.

Here is my javascript that is currently working:
/* add active class to Mega-Menu item if Page Title matches data-linkname */
var tabName = document.title;
$('.megamenu .second-level-list li[data-pagename="' + tabName + '"]').addClass('active');
$('.megamenu .second-level-list li a[data-pagename="' + tabName + '"]').addClass('active');

Here is what I really want to use:
/* add active class to Mega-Menu item if Page Name matches data-linkname */
var tabName = '<% =TabName %>';
$('.megamenu .second-level-list li[data-pagename="' + tabName + '"]').addClass('active');
$('.megamenu .second-level-list li a[data-pagename="' + tabName + '"]').addClass('active');

I tried your suggestion but it didn't work.
var tabName = '<% =TabController.CurrentPage.TabName %>';

Any other ideas or ways to test it?

Thanks,
Craig

This works for me. Just tested in DNN Community 8.4.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

    jQuery(function ($) {

        var tabName = '<%= PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabName %>';

        console.log(tabName );

    });

</script>

Result: the name of the current page is printed to the console.

If I use the code in a separate javascript file that is in a DnnJsInclude it does NOT work. <dnn:DnnJsInclude ID="DnnJsColsFunctions" runat="server" FilePath="assets/js/functions.js" PathNameAlias="SkinPath" ForceProvider="DnnFormBottomProvider" />. 

If I have the javascript directly in the skin ascx file it DOES work. Is there a way to make it work from inside a js file that is being included and not in the actual skin ascx file? 

Thanks,
Craig
