I don't remember: will <base href> affect URLs in CSS?  I think not, but 
it might be worth a try.

I've never used jQuery, but it seems to me that this would be a serious 
problem with the framework.  I don't think a general-purpose JS 
framework should have hard-coded image URLs in its stylesheets -- that's 
just way too brittle, for exactly the reasons you're running into.  I've 
been thinking about playing with jQuery, but this seems like such a bad 
idea that I wonder if I should even touch the framework!

Best,
