In a jQuery script I have the line of code which gets the string of current URL:

var target = $(this).attr('href');

Could the code in this script check if there is a slash at the end of the URL string. If it is present then remove it? What is the way to do it, you could recommend?

I'd do this:

 target = target.replace(//$/, '');

Now if you need to worry about the presence of a query string:

 <a href='http://foo.bar.com/something/?param=xyz'>hi</a>

then things get a little more tricky. Parsing a URL with a regex is probably possible, but it's pretty messy. If you can get away with it, narrow down the possibilities of what your URLs can look like so that you don't have to use some big huge official pattern.
