It takes more than just that: * if the partial URL starts with a /, it uses procotol and hostname as André suggests * otherwise, it takes the URL of the current page, trims the right-hand side of the URL until it hits a /, then appends whatever you have as your partial URL >> Can I get more granular?

We intentionally limit the amount of junk we have in our UI so that everything feels snappy. Use CSS liberally and avoid lots of images. Also, avoid tables that require a large amount of data to load before the page can be laid-out correctly. Also remember that many web browsers will not cache anything retrieved via HTTPS, so you might want to play with some of your headers so things like CSS files, images, etc. are in fact being cached by your clients. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkrwf4YACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PD/4wCbBQJUpqEA0WxL3Dyrvqj4Obqu t4AAn142sF9lwdLrIw0IlgwTlrHrFsoD =A9i7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
