I have a <base> tag as below in <head> section of the page:
<base href="http://localhost/framework"> And a script as below which is relative (of course after <base>):
<script src="/assets/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"> But when I open jQuery from firebug it shows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>404 Not Found</title> </head><body> Blah Blah Blah.... When I use the below link it's OK though:
<script src="http://localhost/framework/assets/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"> I looked for an answer everywhere, but it seems I'm doing my job right! So what is the problem?

The <base> HTML element specifies the base URL to use for all relative URLs in a document.
Definition and UsageThe <base> tag specifies the base URL and/or target for all relative URLs in a document. The <base> tag must have either an href or a target attribute present, or both. There can only be one single <base> element in a document, and it must be inside the <head> element.
A URL specifies the location of a target stored on a local or networked computer. The target can be a file, directory, HTML page, image, program, and so on. An absolute URL contains all the information necessary to locate a resource. A relative URL locates a resource using an absolute URL as a starting point.
The href attribute specifies the base URL for all relative URLs on a page.
/assets/jquery-1.7.1.min.js is not relative but absolute*, the / takes it to the root even with a base tag.
If you remove that /, it should make it relative off the current path, which, when a base tag is present would be http://localhost/framework/.
Note: You will also need to add a trailing / to the end of the href, to indicate that it's a folder.
Full working example:
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <base href="/test/" /> <script src="assets/test.js"></script> <body> hi </body> </html> * Actually depending on who you ask, it's still relative since it is relative off the current domain. But I prefer to call this absolute since it's signifying the path is from the root, based on the current domain. Although, I guess technically that makes it relative in the grand scheme of things, and absolute only in terms of the current domain. Whatever.
