Re: A couple of "Gotchas"

Good points David. And to think I call myself a developer....


There is a lcase equivalent in JS. It would be:


path = location.pathname.toLowerCase().split('.nsf')[0] + '.nsf/';


This would present another gotcha however, in that, if the DB lives on a *nix
server then the file name is case-sensitive and this would lead to a 404 error.


There is also a problem in your workaround, where you look for the last "/". If
you are at the root level of a database. i.e the homepage and the location is
"/dir/db.nsf" the file name returned would be "/dir/". So what's the perfect
solution to this then I wonder? I think I'll stick to naming all my DBs in
lower case.


Thanks for the feedback.....
