Base URL in ASP.net Master Pages with virtual Directories

Question

I have an ASP.net master page. In this master, I have all my css and javascript files defined. I also have a few images and a few buttons and hyperlinks.

All the url

Answer 1

All the urls are all declared as relative ie "/scripts/ian.js"

Those seem to be absolute URL's that you're using, rather than relative URL's, which is probably why the tag isn't having the desired effect:

This attribute specifies an absolute URI that acts as the base URI for resolving relative URIs.

-- from http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#h-12.4

You could try removing the leading '/' from your URL's to see if that works?

Failing that, I tend to use ResolveClientUrl to get around issues like this, which you'd use in the same way as others have suggested using ResolveUrl:

...
" alt="..." />

Hope this helps.
