Convert relative path to absolute using JavaScript

Question

There\'s a function, which gives me urls like:

./some.css
./extra/some.css
../../lib/slider/slider.css

It\'s always a relative path.

The href solution only works once the document is loaded (at least in IE11). This worked for me:

link = link || document.createElement("a");
link.href =  document.baseURI + "/../" + href;
return link.href;
