Introduction of <base> Tag in HTML
The HTML <base> tag specifies the base URL for all the URLs in an HTML document. After this, you don't need to enter the full URL. Whenever you add a URL, the base URL is automatically prefixed before that URL.
For example, suppose your images are in the webImage/images directory, which address C:/Users/AYAN/Desktop/documents/web-images/images. Whenever you add an image, you have to define the full address as below.
<img src = C:/Users/AYAN/Desktop/documents/webImage/images/showcase.jpg">
Similarly, for all of the images you want to add, you will have to specify the full address. But if you define the address of the web-files directory as a base URL, then you will not have to type the full URL to add images. You can see as below.
<img src = "showcase.jpg">
All the links specified in the document will be related to the base URL. Base URL is defined at the top of the page and you can use the rest of the links in short forms.
The code is reduced in the document by using the <base> tag. It also makes the code easier to understand.
The main drawback of the <base> tag is that once you define it you are bounded because all links before it automatically get prefix. It is not possible to do so if you want to add an image or file from another location.
The <base> tag is also included in HTML5. By this, you define the base URL for all the URLs and you can also set the target for all the links.
