Hi
Using "$this->base" is probably better.
It's a property that's available in both controllers and views, and
which contains the root cake path...
Then your url would look like this :
contentUrl: "<? echo $this->base ?>/generals/view"+viewId
It's better because you won't need to change it all the time in case
you move your cake install or decide to call your app "store" instead
of "inventory" (for example)
See also $html->url() (for Cake 1.1) or Router::url() (Cake 1.2)
They're useful.
