When submitting a form, the HREF parameter of the BASE tag is ignored. This is
a problem on some CGI, where they use PATH_INFO to tell them what to do.
PATH_INFO can become weird because of this. I'm not sure what the HTML spec
says is the proper thing to do, but both Internet Explorer and Opera seem to
honor the BASE tag in form submissions.

worksforme, linux build 2001-03-28-08. The BASE HREF is taken into account.
Could you point to a URL or testcase where this fails?

Marking WORKSFORME due to inability to reproduce and lack of testcase. Reopen
when/if this reoccurs.

how to reproduce: use invalid html!
(this "bug" works on all OSes; somebody who can please change that)
it seems to be an overall gecko bug:
Firefox 0.9.3/Win
Netscape 7.1/Win
FF1.0.3/debian
Epiphany 1.6.4/debian
base href ignored
IE 6/Win
Opera 7.11/Win
Konqueror 3.3.2/debian
works fine
on a BB someone replied it worked for him with Firefox 1.0.6
----
I set up a demo page for everybody to verify - and it worked fine there!
So I digged further into this and found out
the error occurs
- with text before the opening <html> tag
AND
- the form tag placed between <table><tr> (see source at attached location)
repair one of these irregulations in your code, and all will work well!

I think this is worth doing for 1.8. Very safe fix.
