Ok, I am a DNN newbie, and fairly new to ASP in general, but I have a lot of experience in PHP.  With that said, I am running into an issue, and not sure how to make it work.  Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. 

In my Main.ascx file, in my footer, I want to link to a page that will always be a child of the root site (www.mysite.com/mypage.ascx). Is there something similar to <%=SkinPath%> to get the root path? I've tried several things which to me seem logical, but usually result in errors on the page. In my code, I am trying to enter:

<a href=" <%=RootPath%>mypage.aspx">My Page</a>

I just can't seem to figure out the proper syntax to do it. If it matters, I am working with DNN6.  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Ok, I figured it out, although I couldn't figure out how to define a new path name (ie, <%=RootPath%>) in default.aspx. What I ended up doing was as follows:

My Page

Works perfectly, in case anyone else ever runs across this.
