Greetings,

You can also use the following if you just want the page you are on
WITHOUT the rest of the URL.

<script>
var thisPath = window.location .pathname;
var thisPage = thisPath.substr ing(thisPath.la stIndexOf('/') + 1); //
current page
</script>

You would just use the vaiable "thisPage" to get the current page you
are on.

Hope this helps,

HI! Thanks for the reply, I think though I might need to trim it though. I
see that it give me the whole path and not just page name. so I have to
create a IF statement to check to see if a condition is true then trim out
the part that I don't want. I will have to repost as this is different than
this heading.

You've just done it!

Apparently Outlook can be configured to append rather than prepend your
response.

Outlook (Express) has many flaws (including Cc'ing to the newsgroup when
Followup-To: poster was set), but its default quotation setting is correct,
common to many newsreaders, and should not be changed. The text cursor is
placed above the quote so that a reasonable poster can go through the quote
from top to down, snip the parts he/she is not referring to, and include
the reply just below each of the (minimized) parts he/she is referring to.
