mod_rewrite goes in wrong directory

[sysadmin42]

Here's the rule I created:

RewriteRule ^page/([a-zA-Z0-9]*)/ index.php?content=$1

That in and of itself actually works fine. Example:

http://www.mysite.com/page/samplepage/

changes to index.php?content=samplepage.

The problem is that all of the links and images are wrong. The links are all relative to /docroot/page/samplepage/ They really should be relative to /docroot/. So how do I get the mod_rewrite to rewrite the GET vars, but leave the current directory alone?

sysadmin42,

Just off the top of my head, if you change the links on index.php to begin with a leading slash, the path that follows should be relative to the DocumentRoot.

Example:
<img src="/path/to/foo.bar"> should point to /docroot/path/to/foo.bar.

I don't think mod_rewrite is the culprit here.

is there a way to rewrite it so the links aren't relative?

right now, it's <img src="images/foo.bar"> and I'd like to keep it that way because there are a lot of images.

something like ?

RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} images/
RewriteRule ^(.*)images/(.*)$ /$1/images/$2

RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} images/
RewriteRule ^(.*)images/(.*)$ /images/$2
