Hi Tony
Don't worry you're right.
/ does indeed make it relative to the host.
The reason I love (and ALWAYS use) the <base href> method is that it makes it a lot easier to understand and means a hell of a lot less <computed value>s which has to be good.
Also, when using the above "base" method, the following:
<a href="/A55692/store.nsf/nude.gif?OpenImageResource">click me</a>
STILL always opens as expected. Anything without the / at the beginning is considered to follow on from the base tag.
Does that clear it up?
