The base tag, represented by <base>, specifies the base URL for all relative links within the HTML code of a specific page or document.
The base tag must be within the <head> of the code. It doesn’t need a closing tag but does need an href or target attribute. If there’s a target attribute, it will be the default attribute for all hyperlinks within the HTML.
Here’s a syntax example: <base href="https://www.webflow.com">
The base element allows for a default target attribute for all links within the HTML page code.
Target attribute values include:
_self— opens the link in the current window
_blank — opens the link in a new window
_parent— opens the link in the parent window if using a frame. Otherwise, it uses the current window.
_top— opens the link in the topmost browsing content. If there’s no parent browser, it uses the current window.
Here’s another syntax example with target attributes:
