converting relativ to absolut paths

Hi,

I load some text into a FCKEditor instance which contains a relativ link. The user changes nothing but the output is always a false absolute path. E.g. there is

<a href="myfile.html">the link</a>

it is changed to

<a href="http://www.mysite.at/fckeditor/editor/myfile.html">the link</a>

so every link I load into FCKEditor is a broken link afterwards. How can I stop this? (FCKEditor 2.0 Beta 2)

thanks,
Verena

I just wanted to add that it is the same behavior under 1.6 so I think this can't be a bug, I just can't find the right way to configure it, or?

RE: converting relativ to absolut paths

How will you handle the output ? via javascript ? CGI ? PHP ? ASP ?

In each of these languages you will be able to access the output string.
Get it, search through it for the path you want to remove and replace that bit with "nothing" ("") or with another path you want to point to.

I don't know much about ASP, but in each of the other languages you can use regular expressions to do the work for you, though if the path you want to remove is always the same, than a string replace would probably be quicker.

RE: converting relativ to absolut paths

via ASP. Ok, I could replace the string, thanks for the hint. The simple solutions are sometimes so far away...
But why does FCKeditor does change it? Is this a feature I don't unterstand how to use? Does anybody else have this problem?
