I don't think that will do what he wants. Consider the following two examples: http://www.example.com/docs/somedoc http://www.example.com/ Now imagine there was a rewrite rule set up to take these URLs and convert them into the following server-side: http://www.example.com/index.php?doc=somedoc http://www.example.com/index.php The same index.php page is being used to serve up all the content, but to the browser, one 'page' is located in the document root, the other in /docs. Any relative URL's in the pages to images, CSS, Javascript, etc will be treated as relative to where the browser thinks the page is, not where the server does. Therefore, you either have to use the <base> tag or make all the URL's absolute. The <base> tag method allows for more flexibilty in the future, for example if you changed domain name slightly.
