  • for URL using file: scheme, the value is browser dependant;
  • for URL using the blob: scheme, the origin of the URL following blob:. E.g "blob:https://mozilla.org" will have "https://mozilla.org".

Value

Examples

// An <a id="myAnchor" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/HTMLAnchorElement"> element is in the document
const anchor = document.getElementById("myAnchor");
