Copy current url into form text box using Jquery

Question

Would like to copy the current url into a text box and create a prompt before it

I have class assigned to the text box in the form

Is there a way to use something close to the following to make this work?

$('.txtbox').val(window.location.pathname);

Thanks

This should work:

$('.txtbox').val(window.location.href);

Doesn't seem to take - do I need to account for the value="" to make it pre-fill correctly?

I'm not sure what you mean. It is working well for me. Look at this example: jsfiddle.net/jimp/5jRVU Are you possibly trying to execute that script before the <input/> exists in the page?
