## com.google.gwt.user.client
Class Window.Location

    java.lang.Object
      com.google.gwt.user.client.Window.Location

Enclosing class:
  Window

    public static class Window.Location

extends java.lang.Object

This class provides access to the browser's location's object. The location object contains information about the current URL and methods to manipulate it. `Location` is a very simple wrapper, so not all browser quirks are hidden from the user.

Method Summary
`static void` | `assign(java.lang.String newURL)` Assigns the window to a new URL.
`static java.lang.String` | `getHash()` Gets the string to the right of the URL's hash.
`static java.lang.String` | `getHost()` Gets the URL's host and port name.
`static java.lang.String` | `getHostName()` Gets the URL's host name.
`static java.lang.String` | `getHref()` Gets the entire URL.
`static java.lang.String` | `getParameter(java.lang.String name)` Gets the URL's parameter of the specified name.
`static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.util.List<java.lang.String>>` | `getParameterMap()` Returns a Map of the URL query parameters for the host page; since changing the map would not change the window's location, the map returned is immutable.
`static java.lang.String` | `getPath()` Gets the path to the URL.
`static java.lang.String` | `getPort()` Gets the URL's port.
`static java.lang.String` | `getProtocol()` Gets the URL's protocol.
