I recommend using the HTML  lt base gt  element    lt head gt       lt base href  http   www example com default   gt       lt link rel  stylesheet  href  style css    gt       lt script src  script js  gt  lt  script gt   lt  head gt    In this example  the stylesheet is located in http   www example com default style css  the script in http   www example com default script js  The advantage of  lt base gt  over   is that it is more flexible  Your whole website can be located in a subdirectory of a domain  and you can easily alter the default directory of your website

As Alexander Jank mentioned  lt base href  quot http   www example com default  quot  gt  is great  When using sub-domains e g  default example com  base works great  because the JS and CSS loads from the said sub-domain and is accessible to both default example com and example com default When using the root path  and your JS and CSS files are located in example com css  or example com js  then the subdomain has no access and the root of the subdomain is not accessible  except using the base
