So when you put relative links in your headers.inc file, the browser adds the path to the newpage.tmpl - not the path to the headers.inc file.If you want to use a headers.inc file as a global file to be included in templates that reside in other folders, you have to put absolute URL's - not relative URL's - in the headers.inc file ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.hui.net/dna/webdna.html Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
