I always hear people talking about .htaccess files on all the different lists I'm on so I thought it was an industry standard thing :) Now I can shut my brain down because I learned my 1 new thing for today! "mmmmmmmmm Beer" -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc. Technology Manager MQC Specialist 3251 132nd ave Holland, MI, 49424 www.raoset.com japruim@raoset.comthat's why I made my decision. Not to say it's the right one, just a step in the right direction. To me it also seems more portable across hosts to have access outside of your webroot vs. access to .htaccessIt's far more portable, because every HTTP server out there knows how to handle paths, but only Apache knows how to handle an .htaccess file. So you can forget being able to use that same code on IIS, tinyhttpd, Boa, AnalogX SimpleServer:WWW (an old favorite!), et cetera. If it only works with one specific HTTP server, that's a serious limit.
