BASE (<base>) Tag

3052

The <base> Tag is used to identify a base URL that targets for all relative URLs in a document. Basically, the <base> tag is always written inside the head Tag.

The <base> tag contains two important attributes i.e. href and Target in which href is mandatory whereas the target attribute is optional. This base tag work for the relative URL.

For Example:

When we are creating an anchor link, the href attribute is used to specify an absolute URL (base URL), like http://codingtag.com or a relative URL such as https://www.codingtag.com/html-meta-tags ( /, /page-name). Relative URL may have /, /page-name.

<base href="https://www.codingtag.com" target="_blank">
</head>
<body>
<h2> HTML Base Tag </h2>
<p> <a href="/html-meta-tags"> Coding Tag </a>
<br>
You notice that when click on this above link(Coding Tag) it is open in new window tab <br>
even it has no any target (target="_blank") attribute.
