It's the same for directories. If you *want* to map something on to .../something.html you can, but there is no need to. When a "directory-like URL" is passed by a browser the returned result is whatever is generated by the view the the URL is mapped to. Or a 404 if no such mapping can be found. regards Steve --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
