I want to retrieve the text that the user has typed into the currently visible address bar, using Javascript. This is for google chrome only.

Is this possible? I know you can get the document URL via window.location.href, but I am unable to locate any javascript pertaining to current code inside the address bar/omnibar.

Thank you for the help!
