get attachURL in javascript

I have a page with 2 attachments; the first is javascript (using jquery and run from the main page), and the 2nd is a data file the javascript uses.

How do I reference the data file from my javascript, specifically for $.get()?

This would be done via %ATTACHURL% in a wiki page. My understanding is the foswiki object is supposed to have this kind of thing, but it looks as if the closest is foswiki.puburl, which will need a lot of extra processing (maybe strip out /pub, add sandbox and then topic).

Also puburl seems to have changed from foskwiki 1.0.4; that version didn't have a /pub at the end. I am targetting a site with that version, but am trying to develop on the foswiki.org sandbox because of caching problems (still unanswered http://foswiki.org/Support/Question651).

Thanks.

You could use '%ATTACHURL%/data_attachment' as an arguement to the function run from the main page.

JQueryPlugin populates meta with a bunch of useful preferences that can be used to create a request URL. Vuiew source of your page in a browser and inspect the meta tags to see what's available.
