It is available in the location object:

location.port

Note that when no port is present in the URL, location.port will return an empty string.

If you need to get the port even when the implicit default port is used, try:

var port = location.port || (location.protocol === 'https:' ? '443' : '80');

This should suffice for pages served through http and https protocols.

Where's location.port mentioned on that MDN page?

@j08691 good point, I've replaced the link. window.location inherits it from the URLUtils interface.

You don't need jQuery for it.

window.document.location.port
