Absolute Path for Deployment in a Non-Root Location

Question

I typically refer to any assets on my site using absolute path so that I don\'t have to worry about the location of the assets relative to current file.

<

what about using html's BASE element? http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#h-12.4

although i´m not sure how you could have it in a single html file and inherit it to the rest of your htmls, so your source remains intact. if your site is html-only maybe with frames, otherwise you could use some sort of server-side include depending on what youre using (asp, jsp, whatever).
