BASE

This element is used to record the URL of the document itself. This is useful if the document is moved away from its original URL and related document, in which case relative URLs (relative to the new URL of the document) become invalid. If BASE is specified, relative URLs within the document are treated as relative to the BASE address.

If the BASE element is absent the document viewer assumes the base URL to be one it used to access the document.

Example of Use

<BASE HREF="http://www.blob.dirt.edu/stuff/junk/file.html">
