Access context path using javascript?

[Debs]

Hi,
I am running my website using Weblogic, so the path is something like
http://<myip>:<port>/<servername>/
On JSP pages I can use <%=request.getContextPath()%to get the root
path of the site, ie that specified above. How can I get the same using
Javascript?

For example, something like <a href='/home'>..</awill not work as
that would point to http://<myip>:<port>/home and needs to point to
http://<myip>:<port>/<servername>/home

Thank you in advance for any help,

i dont think you can get context path directly in JS.
Instead define a global variable in JSP which will be initialized to
context path.
Now use this variable in js.

something like this.
Your JSP.

<script>
var contextPath = "<%=request.getContextPath()%>";
</script>
<script src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/js/jsfile.js" />
Now you can use this variable in your jsfile.js.
Hope this helps you.
