ways of getting context name in javascript

[ganesh pol]

i want to load page as follows

var frame = document.createElement('iframe');
frame.src = "/birthDayReminder/search.htm";

here i am giving context name as hard coded value

is there any way to get this context name dynamically

some work around in java is
1] define hidden variable like
<input type="hidden" id="contextName" value="<%=request.getContextPath()%>">

2] access this variable in java script as follows
var contextName=document.getElementById("contextName");frame.src = contextName.value+"/search.htm";
