Trying to understand how base href works

I’ve added the following to the head of my templates:


Now that I’ve done that, I can use relative paths in all of my href and src calls right? My understanding is that this allows for the most flexibility in moving the site to say a different folder or domain.

How exactly does the base statement work though? Is ModX always evaluating the leading "/" in any given path and resolving it to the current site_url? If so I should just make sure to always include the leading "/" in my href and src paths then?

Thanks,

Oh... I didn’t even realize that base href was a standard html tag.

In Revolution, [[++site_url]] resolves with a trailing slash. i.e. http://domain.com/

In my href and src paths I am leading with a "/". This doesn’t seem to be causing any problems (I mean it’s not adding an extra trailing slash).

Thanks.
