The base URL depends only on the script and where the script was run from, and is not at all affected by the XMLHttpRequest object that was used, if you use the script's base URL. So if you want it to depend on the XMLHttpRequest object itself, it shouldn't be based on anything about the script. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
