Re: Re: Resolving relative URLs with JavaScript

Hi Michel,

Thank you for your answer.

I'm looking for a solution which enables to get exactly the same
result as the one given by the URL resolve engine of the browser (even
if the URL starts with "../", for example).

But in fact, it seems that the following code works on IE 5+, FF 1.5
and Opera 9 :

function solveURL(url) {
   var img = document.createElement("img");
   img.src = url;
   return img.src;
}

I don't understand why IE resolves the image URL and not the link URL...
