[ipac] Linking from a web page to item info in HIP

[Stuart Hubbard]

This has been discussed before, but may be worth revisiting now more
people are using HIP 4.x

Our library will soon be overhauling our web page. We have many links -
e.g. http://www.citylibrary.pncc.govt.nz/nonfiction/ which take you to
the full bib screen and item information on HIP. We don't want to have
to re-do all these links if HIP changes URL structure in an upgrade.

David Pattern described a trick which used javascript so the root URL
could be changed just once. 
I'd like to know if anyone has such a system (links referring back to a
root URL) which can cope with both the 3.x and 4.x URL formats.

Many thanks
