 * I’ve been developing plugins and happily been using:
    `$pluginurl = WP_PLUGIN_URL.'/'.
   str_replace(basename( __FILE__),"",plugin_basename(__FILE__));`
 * to get to my plugin location.
 * However what I am doing is using javascript to link to a location however, right
   now to do that I need to put in the full absolute url, is there a way to get 
   the plugin url with javascript?
 * Thanks,
 * Versi

 * You can still get your Plugin location with PHP, and then pass it to your JavaScript
   using localization:

 * Im not really very good at getting my js to work with php – the JS in question
   is in an external javascript file not in a php one
 * As some people say to use a .php and then a javascript header but I can’t get
   this to work at all
    `header("content-type: application/x-javascript");`
 * but my javascript then doesnt work at all.
