"Wire the backend" example: deep link broken

[keyo321]

Is it just me or is the layout broken when visiting a deep link on angularjs.com?

This is a edit for the Wire up a backend section.

related issue #5716

I have a patch which I believe addresses this at angular/angularjs.org#86 --- I am not totally able to test it, but it seems reasonable that that should fix it

---

edit: I guess my patch is unrelated to this issue, but fixes 5716... I can't actually reproduce the issue with the deep-linking example, though, the links are all target="_blank" and work as expected, far as I can tell. If this is the result of a recent fix, maybe we should close this issue?

OK, here is the issue. If you click on the edit icon for one of the "JavaScript Projects" it correctly updates the URL and displays the edit form for that project. The trouble is that the docs app and the web server don't expect such URLs so if you navigate directly to such a URL as http://angularjs.org/edit/-JEKS-jn8XVQZ86IMXrU or you hit refresh when editing a project) you get a mess: the index.html mistakenly sets the base href to / and so all the CSS and javascript get messed up.

This may be fixable by creating a redirect on the server specifically for these "edit" URLs.

And infact this will be fixed in the new docs as they will be run inside an iframe.

Actually we need to move this to angularjs.org repository since it is not specifically handled by the docs website right now. The good news is the using iframes in the docs, we can show that it works and is easy to fix. So we can update the angularjs.org main page at some point.
