htaccess file nomenclature creating problem in opening a popup window in IE

Question

My htaccess file nomenclature creating problem in opening a window in IE

EDITED

I have to open a colour picker which needs t be opened in popup, and I have

window.open('picker.html', null, "help=no,status=no,
scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=
no" + move + ",width=" + w + ",height=" + h + ",dependent=yes", true);

my base url goes like this:

http://www.mydoamin.com/

and the htaccess file has rewritten the above url from http://www.mydomain.com/30/

but when i wish to open the popup in IE the htaccess doesnt work for it and gives me url as http://www.mydomain.com/30/picker.html

and hence i get msg as broken link or NOT FOUND there is no such folder called "30" the path has to be like http://www.mydomain.com/picker.html

The rewrite rule of the particular page goes like this:

RewriteRule ^30/order-vinyl-banners.html order_form.php?id=30 [NC]

why is it happening.. please help me to track it..

If you want to show http://www.example.com/picker.html, you need to tell the open() function so. Right now you're telling it "Open the URL picker.html relative to where I'm currently at", but you want "Open picker.html relative to the root". Try this instead:

window.open('/picker.html', null,
        "help=no,status=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no"
        + move + ",width=" + w + ",height=" + h + ",dependent=yes", true);
