ASP.Net Base Href Problem
Posted by Mikhail Esteves under: C#; Tips .
I use Base Href on all my sites. Now with ASP.NET, this is a problem — WebForms sitting in subdirectories don’t work. Let’s say you have a form /dir/register.aspx and you have a button there that does something. Clicking on the button gives you a server error because it takes you back to “/register.aspx”. The base-href tag is the reason this confusion takes place.
To solve this, the simplest way would be to call this function on Page_Load() of all webforms sitting in sub-directories:
public void FixBaseJS()
{
string fixbasejs = @"script language=""javascript"">
document.forms[0].action = '" + this.Request["Url"] +
"?" + this.Request["Query_String"] + @"';
/script>";
RegisterClientScriptBlock("fixbasejs", fixbasejs);
}
Remember to prefix a < mark before the script and /script tags found in the fixbasejs function above.
One Comment so far...

Clever! We are tackling the same issue here.
I’d be interested in pointers to any “complicated” solutions that work without JavaScript?
