Thanks for the reply. The reason I ask is because I have the following setup:
request.root = "/ldh" This is the name of the mapping in CFAM. I have been using #request.root# in all of my tags, including <a>, etc... Well, this hasn't been a problem because is just so happens that the name of the directory that I am developing under is ldh. What I realized today was that once I move the site over and it becomes the root site all my links won't work. So I figured I would simply setup two root variables: one that is the name of the mapping in CFAM, and another that can be used with those tags that don't require the CFAM mapping but can simply use "/". I'll have something like: request.root = "/ldh" request.absolute = "/ldh" Now I can use #request.absolute# for all the tags that don't require the CFAM mapping, and once I move the site (and it isn't a subdirectory) I can change request.absolute to "/". So now I'm trying to figure out which tags will need to use the CFAM mapping and which will accept "/". Does this make any sense?
