Probably also some pages don't have <TITLE> tags?  The jump-to-line code
calls getfile, which inserts a <BASE HREF="url"> tag right before any
<title> tag.  

You can change this to use any reliable tag in the beginning of your
documents, by changing this line in getfile (lives in the webglimpse home
directory, not the cgi-bin):

150:       $baseurl && 
151:			s#<title>#<BASE HREF=\"$baseurl\">$&#i;

to something like

150:       $baseurl && 
151:			s#<\/head>#<BASE HREF=\"$baseurl\">$&#i;

(that would put the <BASE HREF..> tag right before any </head> tag; or you
can pick any reliable tag that does appear near the top of all your documents)

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I had put the question aside to
look into and forgot about it for awhile!

Hope the above helps...
