Cool! Did not know that! I take it when you say that solution doesn't work you just mean the one scentence.. " If your going to another webapp just do an http://.... (Is this last sentence right?)" So you just use // and it get's you to domain root? Is that right? so if I had http://domain.com/webapp1/somepage.jsp http://domain.com/webapp2/somepage.jsp
from somepage.jsp all urls from "/anotherpage.jsp" would be http://domain.com/webapp1/anotherpage.jsp and to go to webapp2/somepage.jsp the url would be "//webapp2/sompage.jsp" which equates to http://domain.com/webapp2/somepage.jsp Is this correct? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donald Ball" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 11:10 AM Subject: Re: Redirecting to a relative URL from root > On 9/12/2002 at 11:01 AM Michael Lee wrote: > > >by default the '/' root is from your webapp, as it should be.
