I would like to start use the <base> tag on my pages.
If the root url is www.whatever.net then the tag would be <base href="http://www.whatever.net">.
So urls on any page that are written for example as <a href="section1/index.php"> when clicked will go to http://www.whatever.net/section1/index.php even if the page with the link is in another directory.
So if the page with the link was in /abc/xyz/ then the link would not go to http://www.whatever.net/abc/xyz/section1/index.php.
Is this the same for Search engine robots, or would they just try and go to /abc/xyz/section1/index.php and ignore the base tag ?
I hope I've not made this too complicated...
