<BASEHREF="URL"/>
Parameters

The string appended to the front to URLs sent to the WMP control.The default value is null.
Parent/Child Information
| Hierarchy | Allowed element |
|---|---|
| Parent elements | ASX, ENTRY |
| Child elements | None |
Remarks
This element defines a URL string appended to the front of URL-flip URLs sent to the WMP control.
URL-flipping is a scripting mechanism that causes the WMP control to open a new URL in a browser or browser frame when it receives a script command.
The BASE element is similar to a home directory for relative links. It only affects URLs sent using script commands as part of the content stream that is playing in the WMP control.
A BASE element defined as the child of an ASX element becomes the default for the entire Advanced Stream Redirector (ASX) file. A BASE element defined in an ENTRY element overrides any BASE element in the parent ASX element (for that ENTRY element only).
Note
If the HREF parameter does not end with a '/' character, the WMP control appends one to the end of the string.
Example
<BASE HREF="http://example.microsoft.com/" />
