How to appending url path in jquery

Question

Using $(this).attr("href"); in jQuery Ajax url field gives the URL path but when i use a prefix in front of it like this:

$.ajax({
    type: 'GET'
    url: 'api/'+ $(this).attr("href");
}) 

it doesn't work.

Whats going wrong? Is this wrong method or is there a better way?

Answer 1

$(this) -> will return a wrong result in the object.

Get the value in another place and add the ready result;

var getURL = 'api/'+ $(this).attr("href"); // In the level,where your $(this) is the actual this

$.ajax({
    type: 'GET',
    url: getURL
});
