File Paths And AJAX

[pbd22]

Hi. I am doing an AJAX 'GET'. How do i know how to form the url string
for folders in different locations in the directory? So, for the
following request:

request.open("GET", url, true);

the page that the request is being made from is, say, @ "e" :

a---|
| |
| ---c
b |
|
---d
|
|
e

and I want to pass the url @ location "b". right now I am doing
url = "~a/b.aspx" from location "e" but that isn't working. how do i
do this?

thanks.

Hi,

I think you are making things unneeded difficult for yourself.
Why not place your AJAX files in some directory, and use a full URL to
access it instead of bothering with relative paths?

Save yourself a ton of headaches. Forget relative URL's and use an
absolute URL.
