Functionality

This utility function, which is also publicly available, returns the current list's GUID if called in the context of a list, meaning that the URL is within the list, like /DocLib or /Lists/ListName.

Syntax

$().SPServices.SPListNameFromUrl();

listName

Option to allow passing in a URL to the function rather than simply picking up the current context. This will help where custom list forms are stored outside the list context.

The current list's GUID.
