Let’s say I get the source code of some page (e.g. http://example.com). I now want to write this source code to a WebBrowser, using something like:

myWebBrowser.Navigate("about:blank");
myWebBrowser.Document.Write(sourceCode);

Now, let’s pretend that on the homepage of Example.com, there’s a relative URL such as:

<img src="/logo.gif" />

The WebBrowser will attempt to load it from about:blank/logo.gif. I want to tell the WebBrowser that the “current address” is http://example.com so that it uses http://example.com/logo.gif instead.

Writing directly to the Url property of the WebBrowser will cause a Navigate(), which will get rid of any text I wrote.

I am looking for a solution that works for other elements as well such as stylesheets, javascript (e.g. <script language="text/javascript" src="myscript.js">), links, etc., not just images.

Is this possible?

    You could try and insert a <base> element in the head:
    http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#edef-BASE

    How to insert the tag is dependent upon the language you’re using but you should aim to get the base tag directly after the <head> so that the resulting source reads:

    <head><base href="http://example.com"/>

    Of course, if there is already a <base> element in the document, you should remove that.
