Q:

Selecting menu items using location.pathname + location.search

I ma using Javascript function to select menu items:
function selectActiveMenuItem() {
        var path = location.pathname + location.search + location.hash;
        var links = null;

        links = $("a[href='" + path + "']");

        links.parents("li").each(function () {
            $(this).addClass('current').closest('li').addClass('current');
        });
    }

It is working strange - it doesn't work from the start when homepage is loaded. Homepage link in menu is not selected. I have to click on menu item (homepage or some other) and then it load page once again and right menu item is selected.
Previously I was using only:  var path = location.pathname; without location.search and then it was working fine from the begining. But now my links are more complicated - they look for example like that: http://localhost//MainApp/User/Order.aspx?id=949abc91-a644-4a02-aebf-96da3ac7d8e1&type=NMO and other one is http://localhost//MainApp/User/Order.aspx?id=949abc91-a644-4a02-aebf-96da3ac7d8e1&type=MO. So I have to use location.pathname + location.search to make my function work. 
Also I tried using var path = location.href.replace(/^.*\/\/[^\/]+/, ''); but the effect was the same as with var path = location.pathname + location.search;- homepage was not selected in menu when page loaded. 
The question: How to make homepage selected in menu when page is loaded?    

A:

I had to add checking home link. Now function works and it looks like that:
function selectActiveMenuItem() {
        var path = location.pathname + location.search + location.hash;
        var createhomelink = null;
        var homepath = null;
        var links = null;
        createhomelink = path + "&from=user";
        homepath = document.getElementById("home").href.replace(/^.*\/\/[^\/]+/, '');

        if (createhomelink == homepath) {
            path = createhomelink;
        }

        links = $("a[href='" + path + "']");

        links.parents("li").each(function () {
            $(this).addClass('current').closest('li').addClass('current');
        });
    }
