> RE from Raymond: Web root (I assume you meant web root, not really the cfusionmx root)
This is the last time I'll ask, I swear, but is there a way to figure out what the web root is from CFML? I know ColdFusion must know what it is to map directories, so couldn't the CF engine just play fair and set some variable for us to reference, or at least give us a relative path so that we can figure it out ourselves...or is this some deeply rooted evil idea that should be buried and never surface again? P.S.: I ask because I do not like hard-coding references to other directories when I can help it, it keeps my sites nimble, and gives me a lot more control on shared servers, etc...
