My header is calling a javascript file which sends out an email:

<script type=text/javascript src=<?php bloginfo('template_directory') ?>/css/effects.js></script>

But inside this file, I have a jQuery code that calls a .php file that does the actual sending of the email:

$.ajax({

  type: POST,

  url: css/sendmail.php,

  data: dataString`

But the script doesn't work, unless the url is:

<?php bloginfo('template_directory') ?>/css/sendmail.php

and not just:

css/sendmail.php

Is there any way to include a path to the wordpress template directory inside js?

You could create a Javascript snippet that saves the template dir in a variable, and use this later:

<script>

var templateDir = <?php bloginfo('template_directory') ?>;

</script>
