[wp-hackers] howto including full path in javascript file.

[logikal16]

<script type="text/javascript">
var mypath = "<?php echo WP_CONTENT_URL; ?>/img/somefile.gif";
// more javascript code
// you could also use the WP_PLUGIN_URL constant
</script>

I keep as much stuff in "wp-content" as possible (instead of the site
root). This isn't for everything (robots.txt, sitemap.xml.gz), but it
keeps all of the custom files together, making any updates/migrations
a bit simpler.
