A URI that does not begin with a scheme and net location (hostname) is considered relative. A string that begins with '/' is a relative URI but an absolute path. I should have been clearer and said fully qualified *URL* or absolute *path*. The point of the original statement was that sing a relative path as the target of an ACTION attribute is technically correct, but bad practice. -Gyepi _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
