Ponder and ERXNavigation

Ramsey-

That worked automagically. My question is how? 

I am not used to not specifying an action in my nav plist. And all examples I see also have an explicit action associated with the menu item.
Originally, I had explicitly set the action and action class to call the loginAction. That didn't work. But when I leave it blank like you suggested it works.

However, the url associated with Login is not the correct url:port. It defaults in just "localhost" without a port number. Is that because I am using direct connect?

Finally, if I wanted to create my own link in the menu and just call it "Create an Account" vs. CreateERUser, how would it now know which action to call.

Curious and moving forward,
James
