just to make sure- you are not confusing the following:
STATIC_ROOT
refers to where you put your static files
STATIC_URL
refers to where queries over the internet will get your static assets (eg: www.abc.com/static/jquery.js)
if you do indeed mean STATIC_URL
, then it sounds like it could cause a lot of trouble, because then your static files might have the same name as a url pattern that you have defined for one of the views.
