That is true but maybe a little misleading. You can use / in an href or src attribute just fine in a .cfm file but it IS IIS that is finding that file for you in the end. You just can't use this method in a cfinclude. (apparently it works fine in 'newer versions' but I dont know how much 'newer')
Not trying to say you're wrong Justin, I knew exactly what you meant but it sounded a little misleading and I just thought id 'attempt' to make it a little clearer. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

ColdFusion has no concept of your "site" like IIS does. If my root folder is c:\http\mysite and I try to include "/folder/file.cfm" ColdFusion wouldn't know where to begin looking. Any include like this has to be defined in the administrator as a mapping, otherwise, use relative paths from the file you're including from. -Justin Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
