Alternative for <BASE HREF=''> ?

I'm using this on all my pages, but it's causing problems when generating a sitemap. I use relative paths everywhere, with <BASE HREF=''> so all links point to the correct url on the site, but in the sitemap this BASE tag is ignored and all the links are messed up.

 

Why are you using this tag in the first place?

 

Instead of using relative paths, link from the slash. This is like linking from web root.

<a href="/about/">About Us</a>
<a href="/customers/help">Customer Help</a>

This way you can put this anywhere, and it will always link to the same location

 

You mean absolute paths everywhere?

 

I think you misunderstood my question. I know what it DOES, but I'm not seeing really a legitimate use for it for what you're wanting to do. Just use relative paths, or with PHP you can do a $root variable, and then make your link $root/about/

 

Get out of my thread you
He was answering my question...

 

lol but what fun is that mod_rewrite is fun to use too lol
