In HTML, the Base tag is used to specify a (absolute) base URL or URI for all the relative links. This tag also determines how the link in the current document should be opened.
If you specified any URL with tag, then every other URL on the page prefixed with the specified base URL. The base tag must be defined between the tag.
Note: In HTML the base tag must be included only once in the document, and it must be placed in the element.
You can access the used base URL of a document from scripts with a document.baseURI. Suppose the document doesn’t contain any element, base URL will default to document.location.href.

Syntax:
The tag contains only the open tag in HTML , it does not have the closing tag. But in XHTML the tag must be closed with tag. Do not add any content inside the HTML tag.
<base href="SAMPLE URL">
Note: If you use multiple elements on a page, it will consider the first href and target attribute. Other URLs will be ignored.
