Use relative paths after .htaccess redirection

The .htaccess in my root directory is

Order deny,allow
Deny from all

ErrorDocument 404 /error/index.html

And in error/ the .htaccess is

Order deny,allow
Allow from all

When I open error/index.html in a browser normally everything is fine, but when opening after a 404 redirection the images don't load unless I specify them as an absolute path. I presume even though the file is /error/index.html, it is being run in the directory from which the user is redirected, which does not contain the desired image files (which are located in error/). Is there any way to use paths relative to the ErrorDocument after .htaccess redirection?

While the better fix is always to use absolute path but you can also use <base> tag.

Try adding this in your page's HTML header: 

<base href="/" />

so that every relative URL is resolved from that URL and not the current URL.
