Perfect compromise

Okee dokee. Here is a compromise that should cater for ALL circumstances:


*************
var p = location.pathname;
path = p.slice( 1, p.toLowerCase().lastIndexOf('.nsf')+4) + '/';
*************
This way it doesn't matter what variation of Nn, Ss and Ff we have as it
converts it all to lowercase before finding its postion. Note that toLowerCase
has no effect on the original string so it will come out of the calculation
unaffected.
