Hi, Perhaps it is an easy thing to do, but what happens if you stage your sites (dev, qa, certification, live) or have a distribution of software you want to document (you want the HTML to work wherever the user downloads it). Or perhaps you want to hand it off to your boss to look over on her flight to Hawaii.
I don't see passing a parameter working, either. Do you have to pass params for each link on each generated page? What happens when you want to swap pages and folders around? If you referenced all you your links by ID, then get in the context of that page in a site 'map' and recursively find your path - you will always have accurate links. I don't see an easier way to maintain link integrity. best, -Rob -----Original Message----- From: Ivan Luzyanin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 12:45 AM To: Cocoon-users mailing list Subject: Re: Common practice: how to keep links to html-trees consistent Easiest solusion is to use <head><BASE href="...">...</head> in your generated pages Ivan.
