The XFA is not a link, it's an abstract reference to another fuseaction in the application. Consequently it will never contain any extra information as you describe. However, what you propose can be easily synthesized by a supplmental 'self' variable:
self = cgi.script_name; myself = cgi.script_name & "?#application.fusebox.fuseactionVariable#="; fullself = "http://www.mysite.com/#myself#"; then just use the appropriate variable when you create your link. <a href="#myself##xfa.myXfa#">click here</a> I personally never use a 'self' or 'fullself' style variable, and so just name the 'myself' variable 'self', though from what I've seen, I'm in the minority. Most people use at least 'self' and 'myself' as separate variables. Another route to consider might be a custom tag that simply accepts an XFA and renders an A tag to the HTML stream. I've done this for SEF URLs, where the tag derefernce the XFA against an in-memory database to render a SEF link, rather than link containing the actual XFA. The new destination gets dereferenced back to the original XFA for a standard fusebox request when requested: <sef:link xfa="#xfa.aboutUs#">About Us</sef:link> generates: <a href="/aboutUs.cfm">About Us</a> aboutUs.cfm (and all other such pages) contains: <cfset attribute.fuseaction = application.pageMapper[cgi.script_name] /> <cfinclude template="/index.cfm" /> The sef:link tag is basically the 'aboutUs.cfm' template, but inverted. cheers, barneyb On Tue, 8 Mar 2005 13:34:31 -0500, Damien McKenna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm starting to learn Fusebox 4 (using John Beynon's excellent > tutorials) and have come up with a question. > > Is there any way to make XFAs include the full URL, path and query > string required, rather than simply use them as aliases for the bare > fuseaction name? > > On my FB3 sites I prepend XFA's with the full (dynamically generated) > hostname, "self" file, and all query strings required (one of our sites > passes the custom session ID via the URL).
