Thank Andre! I noticed after I sent the post that I'm getting a 404 in the
html where the browser has tried to get the javascript. 404 because the
application name has been pre-pended to the front of the URL twice. I'm not
clear on how/why this happens.
See snippet below:
<script src="/alge-webapp/a4j/g/3_2_2.SR1org.ajax4jsf.javascript
.PrototypeScript.jsf" type="text/javascript">1<html><head><title>Apache
Tomcat/6.0.18 - Error report</title>}A.name {color : black;}HR {color :
#525D76;}--></style> </head><body><h1>HTTP Status 404 -
/alge-webapp/alge-webapp/a4j/g/3_2_2.SR1org.ajax4jsf.javascript.PrototypeScript.jsf</h1><HR
size="1" noshade="noshade"><p><b>type</b> Status report</p><p><b>message</b>
<u>/alge-webapp/alge-webapp/a4j/g/3_2_2.SR1org.ajax4jsf.javascript.PrototypeScript.jsf</u></p><p><b>description</b>

</script>
Oh, I enter this URL http://collegeflair.com - this is the URL after the
page loads http://collegeflair.com/stanford.jsf. This URL is setup in
/private/etc/hosts.
After I click a link, this is the URL:
http://collegeflair.com/alge-webapp/stanford.jsf;jsessionid=B484F34787DE4412AEE848D7093170C8
