That's what I want, but there are 100s of "html" files in webroot/content and I figured there MUST be a way to wildcard the syntax, something like ^.*\.html$ so I don't need to list every specific html file. I believe I'll have it if I can figure that out now. Any thoughts? -- -- All the best, Jack
