thank you for all of your help. Yes, I just want to link to a file on local machine. And yes, I added the file:// to the path, but it links to nowhere. When cursor over, it shows file:///var..... just like any other links on a html page outside Cat, but it links to nothing. Just wonder if you ever really put a link like that on your app. I thought this is a simple matter, if a simple link could not do that, I think I have to apply the method that Peter has shown. Thanks again

How can I drop the http://... > before the real path? Thank you Your browser is assuming the http:// scheme since href value is relative. If you want to serve via local fs, then you probably want file:// instead. if you want to serve the .wav via http, you need the http:// scheme on there, and you'll want to come up with a structure for serving static content that doesn't use your Cat app directly. The way I do it is to have all my static content served under a separate apache vhost, and then in my Cat code, set that static url base in my config. So my .tt files look like: thing The Static::Simple plugin lets you serve static content from Cat itself, but that's intended for devel only since tying up Cat time with static content is considered Not a Best Practice. So I just avoid it altogether and run a separate apache process on my dev box that serves my static content for me. That way moving from dev to production is as simple as changing the config definition for [% page.static %]. -- Peter Karman . http://peknet.com/ .
