Question

Is there a way to use a full server path instead of a url when submitting a form via ajax with jquery?

The exemple below doesn’t work but it will give you an idea of what I’m trying to do. I know you can’t do cross domain ajax requests but this is all on the same physical server.

I don’t want to set up proxy or anything too fancy, if there’s no way to do this easily I’ll just move a few files on the server but I was hoping there might be an easy solution.

$.ajax({  
      type: "POST",  
      url: "/home/full/server/path/file.php",  
      data: theData,  
      success: function() {  
        $('div#success').fadeIn('fast');
      }  
    });

Thanks!

No, that won’t work. Those are not publicly visible URIs, those are actual script paths which are not visible from the client.
