I have been looking for this for a week+ and have gotted nothing but the proverbial 'blank stare', so perhapse it does not exist. What I need to do is refrence the current URL in a hotlink (as an argument in a CGI call). It seems to me that a keyword reserved for this purpose would be a natural thing in HTML. The client would do the substitution before making its request. i.e.: <A HREF="/some/cgi-bin/script.pl?$Current_URL> Mosaic (my client) would actualy request <A HREF="/some/cgi-bin/script.pl?http://the/current/URL.html"> This doesn't seem hard to do on the client end and I think it would be very useful. Does something like this exist in HTML or HTML+? OR, is there anothere way to do it? -andy acaldwel@nsc.nsc.com
