mod_rewrite VS relative paths

Question

My mod_rewrite code is:

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)?$ index.php?url=$1 [L,NC]

This structure is placed on my server path /beta

When I place the URL http://mydomain.com/beta/download everything works rewriting to the real path http://mydomain.com/beta/index.php?url=download

The problem happens with the relative paths. When I enter the URL http://mydomain.com/beta/download/box the rewriting goes to http://mydomain.com/beta/index.php?url=download/box... but....

All my relative paths, like my css folder, my js folder, image files.... everything with relative path in my index.php page crashes, cuz my relative paths become download/css, download/js, download/images... etc...

I know this problem happens in reason of the slash in the path "download/", but how can I solve that using the mod_rewrite in .htaccess?

Can I prevent rewriting in relative paths? Or even in internal paths of my own domain?

How can I solve that WITHOUT change my relative paths to absolute paths?

Thanks

Add a <base href="yoururl.com/beta/"; /> tag to your HTML head. Also add RewriteBase /beta/ to the htaccess if you're in that subfolder
