Yes, exactly. I'm one of those poor chumps who doesn't have my sites in the 
root directory <ROFL>, although I can usually use the webroot approach for 
my clients' site. I've gotten so used to using the absolute URL.

I wonder where we'll be with version 7 browsers. Let's hope they're even 
more standards compliant and that version 4 browsers will have finally 
disappeared.

Warmly,
Shirley
