If you set anchors in html content and additional put some HTML comments, under IE7 the hrefs will be placed as absolute.

For example the following HTML:

<div id="htmlcontent">
    <div>
        <!-- comment beginning -->
        <a href="/relativePath/ToALink">
            <img alt="" src="relativePath/ToMyImage/image.gif" />
        </a>
    </div>
    <!-- /another ending comment -->
</div>

Will be transformed to this one:

<DIV id=htmlcontent>
<DIV><!-- comment beginning --><A href="http://localhost:52771/relativePath/ToALink"><IMG alt="" src="http://localhost:52771/relativePath/ToMyImage/image.gif"> </A></DIV><!-- /another ending comment --></DIV>
