That way, the browser or anything the request passes though wouldn't have a chance to mangle the URL. Last June someone sent me a note stating they were having the same problem with a page on one of my sites. Turns out that the client was using SurfDoubler, and when that was switched off, the problem went away. While I don't think the problem was necessarily limited to SurfDoubler (dunno, Connectix never returned my letter : ) it *may* be a proxy issue. In any case, writing the search as a context would take that variable out of the picture. FYI, I resolved that particular problem by making an alias of the folder containing the database I was referring and placing it in the directory with the .tmpl file that called it. That way, I could call aliasfolder/list.db instead of ../../originalfolder/list.dbOn a side note, I think I've used commands once (other than $quit, $flushdatabases and the like). Puts me at a disadvantage when trying to decipher some of the code questions on this list (one part of the search request in a hidden form field here, another part tucked into a URL there... : ) and I wish that the tutorial could go into more depth using contexts instead of commands. IMHO they're a lot easier to follow, structure-wise. Add in the fact that it keeps elements of your work out of browser-viewable source code and URLs, contexts seem a better way to assemble a site.Rant off, we now return you to your regular Q & A ; )Rob Marquardt Designer/Resident Wirehead Toast Design300 First Avenue North, Suite 150 Minneapolis MN 55401 612.330.9863 v 612.321.9424 f www.toastdesign.com
