Javascript Server.MapPath Equivalent

[jfrost10]

Hey guys,

You know how we can do Server.Mappath(" &quot to get the location of the current page?

Is there a way that you know of to do it in javascript?

I have a button, and when its clicked I want it to go out two folder levels and get to a file there. the usual
..\..\ doesn't work though (keeps trying to go to the current path and add that on). Funny thing is that if I just put a file thats in the same directory, it works no problem.

Thanks,

jack

You could always used mixed script. For instance, to get the physical path of the parent folder of the page you're on into a javascript var:

<script language=javascript>
var rootPath = '<%=Server.MapPath(&quot;../&quot%>';
</script>

which will render like:

<script language=javascript>
var rootPath = 'd:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\jfrostapp\';

</script>

Should be pretty easy to modify to suit your needs.
