  $(".export").click(function() {

        $.ajax({
  url: '../../tempformdat/test.php',
  success: function(response) {
    alert(response);
  }

little snippet i wrote in view.php for one of my forms.
Url portion only seems to work when i prefix it with the …/…/
doesnt work when i just use the file name or put test.php file one level up and use …/test.php
why is this?

Forms get invoked by frame source so it may be using that processes’s directory. In any case, you can use alert process.cwd() to debug. As a general rule though, you are always better off using php to place one of the globals so your effective url will be completely specified.
