Base tag not working

Hello,

I kind of have an odd problem that I can't solve. I'm developing a new site (TL 2.8.1) on my localhost. The base tag url is something like:
http://localhost/mysite/
Now the site works fine, but when I go to a newsitem, something like:
http://localhost/mysite/news-item/item/ ... -item.html
The stylesheet and all other links don't work (only in IE, it works fine in other browsers).

I made another site, which still runs in TL 2.7, and the news items work fine there.

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

How did you include the stylesheets?

Can you also check the html output to see what url the second link looks at for the stylesheets, this will probably help you most. :idea:

Thanks for your quick reply! :D

They are included with the page layout (there is only one layout, a default layout).

I'm not sure what you mean. By "check the html output", you mean: check the html source in the web browser? What do you mean by "second link"?

Remember, it works fine in FF and other browsers, so I suspect it must be something related to IE. Also, I can't log in to the BE. When I go to
http://localhost/mysite/typolight/
(which works in FF, etc), I get the login page without styles. When I try to login and click enter, the next page gives a 404 error with the url
http://localhost/mysite/typolight/typolight/

I have no clue what's going on...

Can you confirm you have this problem with the online demo as well? If not, then it is your TL setup which has a problem.

Hi cothedo

I had the same problem. IE has a bugged <base> tag as described on the blog.

You can change realtive css&js links to absolute ones, simply by putting a slash in front of the href/src.

Please also consider that even menu links can be broken. I have written a hook for this you can find in attachment. Unpack this to /system/modules/ folder.

I made a clean install with the TL demo on my localhost, and that works fine in IE (actually, that shouldn't be surprising). It must definitely be a problem with my TL setup, maybe something went wrong after I upgraded to 2.8.1.
