HTML5 Tutorial: Base Element Tag
The HTML <base> tag is used to specify a base URI, or URL, for relative links. For example, you can set the base URL once at the top of your page, then all subsequent relative links will use that URL as a starting point.
The <base> tag must be between the document’s <head> tags. Also, there must be no more than one base element per document.
Example
Modify the code below, then click “Update”. See below for attributes.
