Joe, Thanks so much for your excellent examples and information. As a result of your mention of using ftp:/// I tried both of the following <base> tags and avoided the html409 warning in both cases, but ...
<base href="ftp:///~root/Users/brian/j64-701/addons/graphics/d3/"/> <base href="ftp:///Users/brian/j64-701/addons/graphics/d3/"/> as you predicted got another error when clicking on the browser button: "[Error] XMLHttpRequest cannot load ftp:///Users/brian/j64-701/addons/graphics/d3/25. Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP. send ([native code], line 0) jdoajax (25, line 383) ev_showbox_click (25, line 1095) eval code eval ([native code], line 0) jevdo (25, line 342) jev (25, line 325) onclick (25, line 1101)" So it looks like the solution is to use your template suggestion: "<script src="~addons/ide/jhs/js/d3/d3.v3.min.js"></script>" But I am a little confused by how that works, that ~ especially. I thought ~ was unique to J's jpath arguments; is ` more widely used in paths, also? For example is it a unix special symbol? Please explain that.
