David, I'm not trying to anger you, and although you do constantly reply with helpful information (which I appreciate) the tone of your messages makes me think you think I am an idiot.
I'd appreciate it if you'd bear with me, I'm only human. Thanks for explaining. I don't yet fully understand, perhaps because I am missing some perspective or experience with Lift. But, regardless, in my website, the top level is not /index, its /, and I've achieved that by defining home slightly differently than you did. It works well for me, except Home remains clickable, I guess I will live with that issue. thx - Alex On Dec 30, 12:49 pm, David Pollak <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 9:43 AM, Alex Black <[email protected]> wrote: > > > In a 1.1-M8 based project, > >http://localhost:8080/andhttp://localhost:8080/indexbothcause the "Home" > > menu item to be > > > non-clickable.
