HTML base tag
Note: If you don't know what a tag is and/or how you must use it we recommend you to read our HTML tags and attributes tutorial that you can find in our HTML tutorials section.
The
HTML base tag sets the base
URI that will be used to resolve relative URIs in all the document. By using the "target" attribute you can also define a default target for all the links in the document.
Supose that this code is in a document located in http://www.htmlquick.com/. As we are going to show a number of images that resides in the "images" folder, we may use the HTML base tag as following:

<html>
<head>
<base href="http://www.htmlquick.com/images/" target="_blank">
</head>
<body>
<img src="1.gif" />
<img src="2.gif" />
<img src="3.gif" />
</body>
</html>
Code end
href (uri)
Specifies an absolute
URI as a base to resolve all the relative URIs in the document. Must be defined in the head section.
Specifies the name of the frame where the destination document should be loaded. Refer to the
frame-target type definition for further information.
