I try to parse an URL in angular this way:

var l = document.createElement("a");
l.href='www.example.com';
console.log(l.hostname); // -> '127.0.0.1'

But the log gives me the localhost. Any ideas why that's the case or better ways how to do it?

    protocol is missing in the href so falls back to parent document host. Commented May 14, 2015 at 21:51

You should use an absolute url with protocol:

l.href='http://www.example.com';
