hey guys…

im a bit confused…

\<r:url /\> doesnt seem to give me the full path to the current page…  
first I thought thats coz im using navigation tag, but even after  
calling

\<r:find url="\<r:url /\>\<r:slug /\>"\>  
\<r:url /\>  
\</r:find\>

it gives me the parent of the current page…

well tahts just part of the problem…coz im trying to check if im on  
the current page via “if\_url matches”

but if I cant even get “url” to spit out my current page, hows the regex  
of if\_url gonna do that?!!?

anyone had the prob before?  
thx in advance

Flo,
