Discussion - How can that be?

Hi all

I was absent for a "while"

Look at this site(it's not mine, just wondering):
http://www.higherfi.com/audio_speakers/1
at IE? fine
at firefox? fine
at chrome? MESS!
It doesn't seem to "see" the css file
How can that be possible?
I mean, only in chrome?

And how are you all anyway?

very simple: the website is using the fancy "base" tag:

Code:

<base href="http://www.higherfi.com/" />

I never liked it and it's no wonder Chrome is not supporting it.
anyhow, having the base tag the website load the CSS using such URL:

Code:

includes/styles.css

which in "correct" browser that ignore the fancy base tag interprets to:
http://www.higherfi.com/audio_speakers/1/includes/styles.css
which does not exist.

browsers like IE translate the above to http://www.higherfi.com/includes/styles.css
which is correct.

I believe you, I didn't even know that tag...
But, look at their first page:
http://www.higherfi.com/
And the base tag is: <base href="http://www.higherfi.com/" />
Normally, it should of work at least for the first page...
It doesn't though..
