How to specify the base URL for all relative URL in a document in HTML5?


By using <base> tag we can specify the base URL/target for all relative URL in a document. There can be maximum one <base> tag in a document, and it must be inside the <head> tag.

<head>
    <base href="http://www.dotnetfunda.com" />
</head>

<body>
    <p>
        <a href="/abbr.htm">Abbreviation tag</a>
    </p>
    <p>
        <a href="/article.html">Article</a>
    </p>
    <p>
        <a href="/articles/show/3112/progressive-continuous-loading-using-jquery">Something is good</a>
    </p>
    <p>
        <a href="http://www.itfunda.com">ITFunda.com</a>
    </p>
</body>

In the above code snippet we can notice that <base> tag which represents the base URL (www.dotnetfunda.com) is placed inside the <head> tag, and all the relative URL's is placed inside the  <body> tag by using <a> tag.

When above code snippet runs in the browser, top 3 links target web pages on www.dotnetfunda.com as the path is relative and 4th link simply goes to itfunda.com as the href attributes set its path starting with "http://".
