Question

My question is, how can i make an ajax request from a page in sub directory and get its responce.
Here, My page index.jsp is placed inside a sub directory /vf2, inside it i have included the script file

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

testscript.js

function getPlaceFromIP3(){

        var ipAdd="1";
         var params ="ipAdd="+ipAdd;     
         var resultStringX = $.ajax({
             type: "GET",
             url:"result_page.jsp",
             data: params,
             async: false
                }).responseText;
         alert(resultStringX);

        }

The page result_page.jsp is included in the public_html directory itself.
When i invoke the function from index.jsp I am getting a page not found message. How could i send request to a page in the main directory from the sub directory.

And if it were a normal link how would you link to it? The same thing apply here. Use a proper relative url to the file. Start the URL from the root.

if the file is located at http://www.example.com/result_page.jsp, it would be

url:"/result_page.jsp",
