How do I get the root site URL using ECMA script? [closed]

Question

I am attempting to open a popup dialog box, that popup should then open a video library page.

The code works fine on the root site level (e.g. http://hostName:8084/pages/abc.aspx), but when I use the same code for child web (e.g. http://hostName:8084/SomeSite/Pages/abc.aspx) then my popup doesn't open.

I am using this code to open my dialog box:

function OpenDialog(listname, id, width, height) {

    this.ctx = new SP.ClientContext();
    this.sitecoll = this.ctx.get_site();
    this.web = this.sitecoll.get_rootWeb();
    this.ctx.load(this.web);
    this.itemid = id;
    this.listname = listname;
    this.dialogwidth = width;
    this.dialogheight = height;
    this.list = web.get_lists().getByTitle(listname);
    var query = new SP.CamlQuery();
    query.set_viewXml("<View/>");
    this.listItems = this.list.getItems(query);

    this.ctx.load(this.list);
    this.ctx.load(this.listItems);

    ctx.executeQueryAsync(
            Function.createDelegate(this, this.onSuccess),
            Function.createDelegate(this, this.onFail)
        );
}

In a child web this code doesn't use the root site address (e.g. http://hostName:8084).

Is there a way to get the root site address to open the list in the site collection?

Sorry, My system cache was full and I guess it was taking some files from there so this code was not working.. I cleared my cache and created a new site collection. After that I deployed my solution again and it worked. Thanks for everyone's help..

Use the Url property of the SP.Site.

Gets the full URL to the root Web site of the site collection, including host name, port number, and path.
