Working with client side relative Url Tokens in SharePoint 2010/2013

Most of the time we are having problems with

  • Getting relative site collection URL in client side
  • Getting relative Layout URL in client side
  • Getting web site URL in client side

when we are developing SharePoint applications. (for an example Creating a custom master page and providing links to content inside the SharePoint).

If we are working with SharePoint  Standard or Enterprise we can  use 

< link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" runat="server" href="<% $SPUrl:~sitecollection/Style%20Library/mystyle.css %>"/>

But to work with SPUrl you need the control to be server control ( runat = server).


Other Possible Url tokens are


~site/
~sitecollection/   
~language

there are few other undocumented Tokens as well.

Other than that you can use _spPageContextInfo JavaScript Objet in all SharePoint versions.



<script type="text/javascript">
function goToLink(link)
{
    location.href = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/" +link ;
}
<script>

Other than that this object gives other properties as well
