Javascript question?

Question

Hi Guys,

How would I change this line of code from..

url: 'http://10.0.0.1/ajaxListener.php

to something more dynamic? is there a $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR]

variable of some sort I could use? This code is going to be transfered to a different server so, this line of code cannot be static

Thanks,

Jimmie

Answer 1

this is an AJAX question really, I'm not much for AJAX, but if all else fails, you may want to look at decomposing the URL for example:

window.location.hostname holds the hostname of the server the HTML document was requested from.  

and window.location.pathname holds the path after the / in the URL (including the /, I believe).

Answer 2

Hard-coded IP addresses are a bad idea in general. Why not use the IP name of the domain and allow DNS to do the resolution of the address, or have I missed some pertinent point about your setup?
