Rails - Dec 2005 - Using base HTML tag

Hello all:

I have been using PHP for quite a bit and am beginning to learn more 
about RoR.  One thing I used to to in PHP scripts (views in particular) 
was to have a tag such as:

<base href="http://<?php echo $_SERVER[''HTTP_HOST'']
.
$_SERVER[''SCRIPT_NAME'']; ?>" />

so that URL rewriting would not throw off the paths to images, css, etc.

Is there an equivalent way to do this in RoR?

Thanks,

John

Lucky for you, as long as you use the HTML helpers (image_tag,
stylesheet_link_tag, etc.) the URLs are created automatically such
that setting the <base> for your pages is unnecessary.
