...when you reference the same form from a different entry point.
This idea may be obvious to some, but it can push a developer to keep with
referencing the full URL.
Jake? Comments/solution?
Example:
Same form, but editing vs. creating a new document. The appropriate action
link is displayed with the bullet icon. Bullet.gif is stored in image
resources. Editing the document requires an extra dot to reference the correct
path of the gif since a view is specified upon edit
(db/view/docUNID?editdocument). Creating a new document is launched from the
root level (db/consultant?OpenForm).
I could have computed the extra dot in a formula, but I wanted to illustrate
the point (pun intended).

bullet := "<img src=\"../bullet.gif\" width=\"9\" height=\"11\">";
editActions := "<a href=\"JavaScript:document.forms[0].submit()\">" + bullet + " Save</a>";
bullet2 := "<img src=\"./bullet.gif\" width=\"9\" height=\"11\">";
newActions := "<a href=\"JavaScript:document.forms[0].submit()\">" + bullet2 + " Save</a>";
