CherryPy 2 doesn't have any single method to do what you want, but CherryPy 3 does via cherrypy.url(..., relative=True) [1]. That method will create one URL relative to another URL (the current URL, by default). Since the mapping from URL's to controllers is not 1:1 (and sometimes is not even decidable, and certainly not in the opposite direction), it would be MUCH harder to write a general solution for creating a new URL relative to a *controller*. Stick with URL's and stay sane. ;) Robert Brewer System Architect Amor Ministries [EMAIL PROTECTED] [1] http://www.cherrypy.org/browser/trunk/cherrypy/__init__.py#L487 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
