Interesting .. will give this a shot but just FYI - I'm using if_url in the HEAD section of the layout.
I'm still curious why it's not matching. I think that's the real question. And I completely failed to mention that I'm trying to do this in a layout. Does the <r:if_url> tag work within layouts? Thanks!
