<P>
The BASE tag is used to indicate the correct location of the document.
Normally, the browser already knows this location. But in cases such
as a mirrored site, the URL used to get the document is not the one
that should be used when resolving relative URLs. That's when you use
the BASE tag. The required HREF attribute must contain a full URL
which lists the real location of the document.
<P>
For example, in a document which contains
<CODE><BASE HREF="http://www.htmlhelp.com/"></CODE>,
the relative URL in <CODE><IMG SRC="icon/wdglogo.gif"></CODE>
corresponds with the full URL <B>http://www.htmlhelp.com/icon/wdglogo.gif</B>.
<H2>Notes:</H2>
<UL>
<LI>It is not necessary to include this tag; use it only if relative
URLs won't work otherwise.
