I currently have css and javascript file calls (amongst other things) like the following:

href="/css/default.css" src="/js/ui_control.js"

putting the preceding / in to make the files relative to the root.

This works great when my page is in the root of the domain. However, I'm currently in the middle of transferring my site to a new hosting provider and as such have a temporary URL which is: HOST-IP/~username

As such, all file calls are trying to be called from HOST-IP/css/default.css etc instead of within the ~username sub-folder.

Of course I can wait until the domain name servers propagate but that's beside the point.

How would I go about writing a rule in the .htaccess file that would redirect all file calls that start with a /, from going to HOST-IP/FILE-CALL, and instead to go to HOST-IP/~USERNAME/FILE-CALL. ?

Any ideas?
