So for instance, if you look at http://www.mysite.com/store/index.cfm and this file contains #expandPath("file.txt")# the path returned will be an absolute path to a "file.txt" file located in the store directory, i.e. url to file = http://www.mysite.com/store/file.txt theoretical value of expantpath() = c:\inetpub\wwwroot\store\file.txt If /store/index.cfm includes another file located elsewhere, for instance /wwwroot/snarfle/the/garthak.cfm and this other garthak.cfm template then contains #expandPath("file.txt")# the value of expandpath() will be the same... which is why I say it's silly, and I never use it, because I never care what the location of the base template is, because nothing else in ColdFusion uses relative paths from the base template, and since the base template directory can change it can also modify (read gum-up) an absolute file path. It would have made a lot more sense for it to expand from the current template path, since the relative path from the current template to the target file won't change, but that's not what we got. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:207496 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
