What does this tag mean?

[LittleKing]

Here is the html code in question:

Quote:

<a href="definition.htm" tppabs="http://www.rivergate.com/ross/definition.htm">Definition</a>

My question to you is what does the "tppabs" attribute mean? I understand the rest, but don't know what it means. I've done a bit of research online but can't figure it out.

I believe it's a tag that leads you to a browsable version of the page you are on that can be saved to your HHD. Object orientated maybe.

Someone else might be able to give a better definition.

Cheers!

well i can tell you that it's meant to mean something absolute, hence the abs part of the tag... sounds like a wysiwyg tag... even the w3 people don't have a definition for it on their site, i actually sat and read some of their linking definition stuff.

now i'm curious...

I did a search on ggogle and I found a lot of places its used but no kind of definition. Seemed to pull a lot of foriegn sites...

I tried google and w3 on it right after you posted. Been working on it since. Nothing...

Where did you find it?

I work for a web development and hosting company, and we are transferring a client's website to our servers. Because the client was taking a long time to give us an original copy of the site we decided to download what we could manually. I posted a message on how to do this a few day ago.

One we retrieved the site we needed to edit the code to make all the links work properly and such, and that is where I saw this tag. I think Beemer might be on the right trace though.

I didn't think of this before but there was also this line in the code which gave a odd error message when click on:

Quote:

javascript:if(confirm('http://www.amerchiro.org/ \n\nThis file was not retrieved by Teleport Pro, because it is addressed on a domain or path outside the boundaries set for its Starting Address. \n\nDo you want to open it from the server?'))window.location='http://www.amerchiro.org/'"
tppabs="http://www.amerchiro.org/

I didn't think anything about it until I realized what it was said. When you click the link it gives an error that says:

Quote:

http://www.amerchiro.org/

This file was not retrieved by Teleport Pro, because it is addressed on a domain or path outside the boundaries set for its Starting Address.

Do you want to open it from the server?

Good work on the explanation. Even I understood it.

you need to create your own thread and not post in one thats two years old!

I'd suggest our Webmastering and Programming forums!
