Ah, that explains my confusion with that setting sometimes. I prefer that if it starts with a slash, it's absolute. Site root relative? Why not just call a URL a URL? I mean, I'm all for enriching the language and all, but sheesh. Site root relative is still absolute. I don't see anything relative about it. I'll end with "site root relative" is just plain silly, and calling a URL an absolute path is almost as silly. Maybe more so. ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:239090 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=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
