Answer 1

You can map the url localhost/devbuild to localhost/mytestSiteA and use the first url to test your site locally. In your javascript you can always assume the devbuild folder then. That way you don't have to change anything else.

Answer 2

use relative paths so you don't need to get to the root folder

this doesn't work on sites with friendly urls with folders in the links

Answer 3

This is what worked for me after the switch clause.

var root = location.protocol + '//' + location.host + rootFolder;

Answer 4

try to switch

switch (document.location.hostname)
{
        case 'asite.com':
                          var rootFolder = '/devbuild/'; break;
        case 'localhost' :
                          var rootFolder = '/mytestSiteA/'; break;
        default :  // set whatever you want
}

and then use

var root = document.location.hostname + rootFolder;
