[Typo3-dev] Translation interface is broken in MSIE 6???

The problem is probably the IE bug that IE doesn't use the <base> tag 
for URLs opened with JavaScript.

So to work around that problem, the translation interface should be 
programmed to work with absolute URLs instead of relying on relative 
URLs in conjunction with the <base> tag.

We had the same problem in a bug report about "Click enlarge" 
showpic.php not working properly with RealURL on IE:
