Using <BASE> on only part of a page

[amsmota]

Well, the subject says it all, i want to put reference links in part of my HTML page (for example a <div> block) going to a relative path diferent fron the rest of the page.

Is there any way to do it?

Thanks.

To my understanding if you add a <base> tag in your code, it is only applied to the elements that appear after it.

I'm pretty sure it's bad practice to use base outside of your head, but if you were to make the last <div> appearing in your code with a <base> before the content, I suppose it could work, but it wouldnt be pretty.

I don't know maybe some php might be the solution?

any other suggestions?

The

base

element is for use in the

head

section only, and it operates for the whole document. You cannot use it in any other way and expect it to work.

One option you have is to include the section as an

iframe

rather than a

div

- as an

iframe

is a separate document, you can use the

base

element there to cover all the links in that inserted page.

I have noticed before, that if I put my <base> after my <link> to my css, the base wont apply to the css <link>.

I think thats where I got that crazy idea.

I couldn't find a solution to this (well, i did, i've replaced "src=" with "src=../") and it seems strange cause it seems a trivial thing people would do...

I didn't try iframes, i don't know why but i don't like frames nor iframes... But i love Ajax :)...
