Re: Defining constants like APP for use in javascript

Andy, thanks for the quick response. I guess what I'm trying to do is
include an absolute path that is relative to the app's path. For
example:

$.getJSON("/path/myson.json", function(json) {
// code here
});

What if the app is installed in a subdirectory? Then I'd have to put "/
subdir/path/myson.json". How do I keep the code flexible without
having to change it for each install?

From the comments of your jquery.mi.js file it looks like it does what
I'm talking about. I'm not very experienced and I'm a little fuzzy on
how to implement that code.
