I think that only for stolen sites comment is a little off. For
example I'll often develop something on my local machine on a URL like
http://localhost/project-name and then deploy it on its own URL.
base is invaluable in this sort of situation.

But using a leading slash eliminated the need for the base.
Also, mod_rewrite works fine with relative addressing. When Apache
doesn't find the .htaccess
Mordechai: base affects what the leading slash actually points to.
You could have a little app in http://localhost/myApp and code all
your pages up to use img src=/myApp/images/myImage.gif, but when
you move the app into another directory (eg. http://localhost/yourApp)
you then need to do a find
If you are using base from day one
you only need to change the path within one tag.
But you still need to do it for every page in your site that uses it...
So we are comparing the merit of making find/replaces site wide for
all links vs. find/replace site wide for a specific tag.

In most cases that's probably best. However, another option is to use
mod_rewrite to also adjust the CSS location. It's even possible to have
only one main file which takes

Although, I very rarely see other people use it. Since it has come up,
why don't folks use this tag?

I use links relative to the root directory everywhere for example:
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css media=print href=/print.css/
link rel=shortcut icon href=/favicon.ico /
div id=mainnav

Sure, you can. I just generate the base tag

Base is a good tag, but in my opinion it has worn out
its usefulness.
The only reason one might find it good now is if one has
their site stolen. Rookies that steal your web site won't
know what base is and would therefore end up linking
into your site.

Hey WSG,
I have recently been playing with mod_rewrite, and I LOVE IT!
It is great, and I have read that it helps a lot with SEO, Bookmarking
and even Web Accessability.
(Email clients often strip query data etc...)
What are your tips and pointers for using mod_rewrite.
Some problems I have
Chris,
Put your CSS file in
a real directory. Then do the following:
../styles/site-styles.css
That is what I
use. Of course the directories and filenames are different, but you get
the idea.

Hmmm.
Sorry forgot to mention one crucial detail...
I import a HEADER.PHP file.
for every PHP page loaded.
Every php file is actually in the base directory with the CSS file in a
folder called STYLES.
So originally my method worked fine!
just have the header point to: "styles/sheet.css"

Use /styles/sheet.css.
It points to the same location from everywhere in your site.
