A trivial URL reference is one not containing a "/". They are harmless. A relative URL reference containing a "/" is non-trivial unless the path segment before each "/" is either "." or "..". Non-trivial URL references can cause growing URLs. Do not use them.
I'm a beginner. I have a very simple site in which the menu is generated with the following code:
<dtml-with OSPN> <dtml-in "objectItems(['Folder'])" sort="id"> <dtml-if expr="id[0] in '0123456789'"> <a href="&dtml-id;"><dtml-var expr="id[2:].replace('_', ' ')"></a><br/> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> </dtml-with>
Each time one clicks on a menu item the corresponding page is displayed. There appears to be no non-trivial URL reference. owever, the URL grows.
I'm afraid Dieter's wrong about this. yes, it can happen! :-) Use an absolute url for the link: <a href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var expr="id[2:].replace('_', ' ')"></a><br/> -- Paul Winkler home: http://www.slinkp.com "Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"
