   Ummm ... are you trying to do this STATICALLY, on
   pre-existing HTML, or DYNAMICALLY, as users actually
   access the pages ???

   For the first case, a little Python will do wonders.
   Identify tags, where you need to insert the absolute
   parts of the paths, do it. Python is great with text
   strings.

   The second case ... not as easy. There you'd be best
   off using PHP. Yea, JavaScript will do it too, but
   it's always something<dot>something<dot>something<dot>
   something<dot>something<dot> ... functional but it
   gets UGLY/OPAQUE real quick  :-)
