Javascript Relative URL

Question

We have an MVC3 application in IIS7: http://mydomain.com/myapplication/

What would be the relative URL in javascript for:

http://mydomain.com/myapplication/mycontroller/myaction

../mycontroller/myaction - goes up one level (in this case also to http://mydomain.com/mycontroller/myaction)

./mycontroller/myaction - was what I figured would be right, but that didn't work either!

Just omit the / altogether and it would look in the same level as the original page having the code. — user447356

Sorry, re-read my Q and it was not really correct, hence the answers... — neildeadman

So what you're after is to get the application root? If so, jmav's answer looks correct. — user447356

If you are developing in ASP.NET MVC you can set root var on server side like this:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
   var root = '<%= this.Request.ApplicationPath%>';
</script>

and use it in JS:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">    
   img = root + '/someotherrootfile.js'
</script>

You would just list the file name.

<script src="filename.js"></script>

If I understand you correctly you would only need to list the filename or path directory with no leading slash.
