As you say, that only works on relative URLs. Michael's problem was that he was using an incorrect absolute URL to refer to his servlet. So the BASE fix won't work unless he also changes to using relative URLs. And then he doesn't need BASE because his servlet is in the same location as the referring page. Or perhaps you mean that BASE is another alternative to writing the content path into the HTML from a servlet. But that's not exactly true either. The point about writing the context path from a servlet is that it makes the webapp completly mapping neutral. Of course, you could mean that you could write the context path into the BASE element, in which case I have just gone on for 355 words with no benefit. Such is the life of a consultant. -- Nic Ferrier http://www.tapsellferrier.co.uk ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
