First, whatever comes back from the server in an AJAX request will
only be available in request.responseText, so you'll have to alert()
that instead of 'saved'.
Second, the URL is exactly the same as for any other URL and any link
on the page, it's relative to the current page, absolute from the
server root (/controller/action) or "absolute absolute" (http://....).
I generally use the $html->url() function to get the URL for the right
controller/action and echo that into the JS.
