[Zope] anyone? Help getting the correct URL from absolute_url or portal_url

I was just making sure that you weren't having a problem where it was 
mysteriously switching ports (which would be really bizarre.)

You got me. I won't try to talk you out of frames, then.

That's what I meant, actually. What method are you using to construct 
your URLs, how does it render, and where does it actually point? 
(Mozilla/Netscape's View Info should be helpful in this.)

I suspect that a proper base tag will let you use relative URLs 
correctly, unless your browser/browsers in general don't work this way. 
(I really can't speak as to how that works in frames.) In which case, 
you'll have to generate port-containing URLs from Zope.
