function initQuickLinks
-- This function fixes all the "links" in the quicklink
   dropdown list by prepending the base of the "home-link"
   link.  The "home-link" is the <a> tag, and Dreamweaver 
   makes it's path relative based on each document.  Therefore,
   Dreamweaver fixes the path of this link, no matter what directory
   the current document is located in.  However, the "links" in the
   quicklink list are not real links, but rather are defined through the
   value property of the <option> tag.  Because of this, Dreamweaver does
   not fix the relative paths (it only fixes "href=" and "src=" attributes of
   certain elements).  Therefore, this function grabs the base location,
   and applies the prefix to any value attribute which starts with a "/".
   The result is that the quicklink "links" behave properly regardless of their
   relation to the referenced document.
