Hi,
If I am using search engine-safe query strings, e.g.
<a href="index.cfm/FuseAction/HomePage">
then IE seems to use index.cfm/FuseAction/HomePage in the path for images,
stylesheets, etc.
What is the best way around this?
One way is to make relative links into root relative (by adding
#WebRoot#="/folder/" to every link). Another way is to add <base
href="#WebRoot#"> to each <head> which seems to work well. Only problem here
is that the path has to be fully specified (http://...) so a local and live
version have different paths (http://localhost/ vs. http://www.aaaa.com/).
So is this the best way?
Are there other weird issues like this that arise from using this form of
query string? Do people use it much? I realise it depends on the site. If
it's more of a Web app, then who cares, but if it's largely presenting
static content then it wants to be searchable.
Finally, where did this format come from? Did Allaire build it specially to
sold the problem with search engines, or what?
