Javascript question - what does this line mean?

Im still learning javascript, and i saw this in a database i downloaded…can someone tell me what it means… it’s placed in the ABOUT Document.

(and the nsf name is a computed value, I presume of what I named the database). But what would be its Purpose?

Subject: javascript question - what does this line mean?

it basically means a redirect; it’s setting the URL associated with the current window object to what ever the element named root is in the galler.nsf database, two directories above wherever you are now.

Subject: Looks like my gallery database :slight_smile:

Basically that is a redirect, so that when someone opens that database from a browser, it immediately redirects to showing the root view, ie the view containing all your pictures.

Subject: problem…

well it looks like it was submitted by a Todd Harris… but Carl, if it’s yours, maybe you can help, i have a problem… the page of thumbnails disappears after a while.

this is a db i downloaded from SandBox, and it came together great, utilizes some Thumb progrm and pulls the thumbnails into a document. Great. Display on web… great. until a couple hours later… then Page Not Found.

If I go OPEN the database, it shows up again.

Whassup?

Subject: RE: problem…

I just downloaded the Todd Harris database, no relation to mine. His database doesn’t have an about document, and hence no:

but that is what is in my database here:

What does the using document say in the database you’re using?
