Answer 1

You can only access your current file path relative to your host URL, you cannot access the folder path of that file.

This is restricted in JavaScript due to security reasons. If that was allowed, malicious scripts could easily read your server's internal folder structures, which is bad.

Answer 2

On a Local Machine it is not possible, however you could use:

document.location.href;

to get the URL, where your file is hosted
