Question

I have some javacsript code looking something like below. Notice how it makes a ajax call to ‘/ContollerName/ActionName’ with some parameters. This works fine as long as the application is deployed on a site root in IIS. But if I deploy it on a virtual directory the path will point all the way back to the site root and it will fail.

$.get('/ControllerName/ActionName', { foo: _bar, foo2: $(titleRow).attr('id'),             Direction: direction         }, function(data, success) {             if (eval(data).Result == _successEnum) {                 successfulCallback();             } else {                 failCallback(errorMessage, eval(data).LogPath);             }          }, 'json'); 

How can I make it so it can be deployed both on site root level and on a virtual directory.

Both the below should basically work. I use ASP.NET MVC.

• http://localhost/ControllerName/ActionName?foo=bar
• http://localhost/TestApplication/ControllerName/ActionName?foo=bar

Use Url.Action as the first parameter.

// link to a controller  Url.Action('Home'); // link to an action  Url.Action('Home', 'Index');
