I don't believe that for a second, because I've never seen it anywhere before. Using an absolute path makes absolutely no difference.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Ok, it isn't actually but it is pretty ridiculous.


But since your benevolent (and wise) clients have made this a requirement, a better idea is to use the HTML <BASE> element. You can specify the 'base' url for all the hyperlinks, I think. Isn't that good enough?

Thanks mendhak, I think base will work .. I will suggest to my PL.

Good luck. We all know how PLs love to think outside the box and not follow orders from above mechanically. (sarcasm intended)

:o Yep, I understood earlier.. So, I decided to implement :p

Actually,

There are 2 solution i found.
1) Go with Third Party Component like "ISAPI Rewrite"

or

2.1 http://www.primaryobjects.com/CMS/Article63.aspx

2.2 http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms972974.aspx

but the thing is that I don't know REgEx or not having that much knowledge of Config.

So, I just told him 'Sorry, I CAN NOT DO IT'. after all Im trainee not getting a single pany after a 11 hour of works/day :mad:

2.2 is the most ideal solution. Most flexible.

Learning RegEx is not difficult. Or 'config' (web.config?) whatever you're referring to. Being a trainee can be difficult and frustrating, often, but it's like climbing up a hill. You see the hill from far away and are excited about it. Up close, you realize you're scrambling through bushes and getting cut up by thorns. Halfway up you realize your goal is in sight. And when you reach the top, you can relax and enjoy the view.

In other words, you've got to struggle if you want to learn.
