display current subdirectory URL of webpage

Having an issue with the following code, it displays the full URL of the current page,
(eg, example.com/dir1) however I am looking to display the sub directories only (eg, /dir1/). Also having an issue where it does not display spaces properly, spaces show in html encoding %20.
I have very little programming experience and any help would be greatly appreciated.
<p3><script>document.write(location.href);</script></p3>

EDIT
working on the following script, however am having trouble implementing it
<script>str.replace("%20", " ")</script>
any thoughts?

EDIT - answer which suited my needs, many thanks to brettc
var url = location.href; url = url.split("examle.com").pop(); url = decodeURIComponent(url); document.write(url);

This may not be the best way, but a way none the less. You could just split the string by the ”/“ and take the last occurrence.

Also, decodeURIComponent() will decode the %20 to a space, as found here.

<script>

var url = location.href;// get url, put in url variable
url = url.split("/").pop();// get last element separated by “/“
url = decodeURIComponent(url);// remove any %20
alert(url);

</script>

Note: this will alert everything past the last “/“.
