do i have to use phpi kniow i can do it with ajax or get the directory from php by naming the .js file to .php and interlkacing it, but this is too much right now the site is well developed

if you can get it from php, then do this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var myjsdir = "<?php echo $dirfromphp; ?>";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="yourfile.js"></script>

--php transfers it's variable value to a javascript variable using the inline javascript

--the javascript variable 'myjsdir' can now be referenced inside the scripts in 'yourfile.js'

 

--it's what I do because then I can leave the external javascript files with the .js extension for easier control of caching of them.

You'll never be able to see anything "above" the www directory.
