Hi, I'm using URL Rewriting under ASP.NET 4 (using ISAPI_Rewrite) and I'm finding that that some of my images are not loading as .NET does not seem to understand I'm using an html BASE tag (pretty standard and essential when doing URL Rewriting):
eg in my development environment I have:
<base href='http://localhost/venuefinder/Website/'></base>
and on my pages I have:
<asp:ImageButton runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/button.gif" />
On the home page of the site (http://localhost/venuefinder/Website/) this works fine, however on a page that uses URL rewriting, the image does not work:
/venuefinder/Website/venues/ashton_gate_stadium/V18639/
..as the browser is trying to load:
http://localhost/images/buttons/search-button.gif
instead of:
http://localhost/venuefinder/Website/venues/images/buttons/search-button.gif
This is happening because .NET is rendering the button as:
src="../../../images/buttons/search-button.gif"
...which is incorrect.
Is there any way I can correct this problem so that .NET renders the correct src attribute for the image? (without all the ../../../ etc)
