I’m using WordPress and I would like to use the value of <?php bloginfo('url'); ?> in a jQuery script file as a variable. Is that possible? And how?

In my script.js file I a function that uses:

$("#board").load("http://www.mysite.com/ajax/",{slug:post_slug});

and the “http://www.mysite.com&#8221; part will change (I’m building a theme).

Many thanks for your time and help.

    What you’re asking for is not easily achieved, instead set a JavaScript variable in your <head> element:

    <script type="text/javascript">
   var site_url = '<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>';
</script>

    Then you can use the site_url variable in any of your JS files:

    alert(site_url);

    You should check out WordPress’ wp_localize_script function instead, this allows you to specify additional data to be made available to a queued script.

    Here’s a good example by mikeschinkel on Github.
