How to find site base URL in my javascripts?

What is the best practice to provide Javascripts with URL's for things such as Ajax calls? My javascripts live in the public folder website/js/ and need to get the website/ part so that I can structure the URL for my Ajax calls from there.

Is there any best methods for doing this? I was thinking of having something in the html such as:

var base = ;

Are there better methods?

Just use window.location.origin

If you need the slash "/" at the end:

var baseUrl = window.location.origin + "/";

Just use the below code

var base_url='http://'+window.location.host+'/';

You don't need the fully qualified path. Start your URL with a / and use relative paths.

var full_path     = 'http://www.google.com/js/some_js_file.js';
var relative_path = '/js/some_js_file.js';

These are equivalent if you're viewing a page at www.google.com
