Title: LPS-23495 Make URL absolute

There is an issue with ssl, ajax, and sprite images (background image url) causing mixed content warnings for some browsers (ie8).

ref: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1548551/ssl-and-mixed-content-due-to-css-background-images

The solution was to turn the relative URLs which the browsers mishandle in those situations, into absolute URLs.
