Question

We have an MVC3 application in IIS7: http://mydomain.com/myapplication/

What would be the relative URL in javascript for:

http://mydomain.com/myapplication/mycontroller/myaction

/mycontroller/myaction – goes to http://mydomain.com/mycontroller/myaction

../mycontroller/myaction – goes up one level (in this case also to http://mydomain.com/mycontroller/myaction)

mycontroller/myaction – goes to http://mydomain.com/myapplication/mycontroller/myaction when running as dev on localhost but on server goes to http://mydomain.com/mycontroller/myaction

./mycontroller/myaction – was what I figured would be right, but that didn’t work either!

If you are developing in ASP.NET MVC you can set root var on server side like this:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
   var root = '<%= this.Request.ApplicationPath%>';
</script>

and use it in JS:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">    
   img = root + '/someotherrootfile.js'
</script>
