ajax absolute path issue

[1internet]

I am going crazy with my ajax calls. I have finally discovered the issue, but tried numerous ways to fix it with no avail.

So essentially I have an ajax call from different levels in the site, there could be from 1 to 4 different directories in the url of the site, which is what causes the issues.

function add_cart(pid,quantity) {
$.ajax({        
    type    : 'POST',
    url     : '../../ajax/add-cart.php',
    data    : 'pid='+pid+'&quantity='+quantity,
    success : function() {}
});
}

I have tried changing the path to http://www.mydomain.com/ajax/add-cart.php, /ajax/add-cart.php, document.location.origin+"/ajax/add-cart.php", "//www.mydomain.com/ajax/add-cart.php"  But nothing is working.  I am sure I am not the first person to run into this issue, so what is the answer?

Note that the option is called url, pass it a url.

Can you elaborate?

[trq]

Your not sure what a url is?

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Url

 

So, passing [nobbc]http://foo.com/script.php[/nobcc] should work from any location. If your url doesn't work, there is some other issue.

I don't appreciate the sarcasm, it was a genuine question, if you don't want to help then thats fine.

Sorry, I'm seriously not trying to be sarcastic.

Ok, sorry, that was just how I inferred it. On a lighter note, it works now. So thanks.
