Question

I have some javascript that requires a specific URL to call an ASP.NET web service.
When I run the application locally, the url is something like:

http://localhost:123456/ProjectName/Default.aspx

But when I upload the application, the domain will change to:

http://myDomain.com/Default.aspx

What’s the best way to capture the current URL path and pass it in as a variable to my javascript? Here is my javascript:

            <script type="text/javascript">
            $(document).ready(function () {
                $("#autoComplete").autocomplete({
                    source: function (request, response) {
                        $.ajax({
                            type: "POST",
                            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                            url: "http://localhost:123456/ProjectName/Default.asmx/SkillsList", //CHANGE THE URL!!
                          //url: "http://myDomain.com/Default.asmx", //The other URL...
                            data: "{'like':'" + request.term + "'}",
                            datatype: "json",
                            async: true,
                            success: function(data) {
                                response(data.d);
                            },
                            error: function(result) {
                            alert("error");
                            }
                        });
                    },
                    minLength: 2
                });
            });
    </script>

I’m using ASP.NET if that helps at all.

Thanks!

Looks like you’re writing out to the aspx page. Given that, you should be able to just have ASP.Net tell you via something like

url: "<%= Request.ApplicationPath%>/Default.asmx/SkillsList"
