FPHTMLBaseElement Object

Represents the BASE element of an HTML document. Use the FPHTMLBaseElement object to specify the base URL for all relative URLs in a Web page. You can also use the FPHTMLBaseElement object to specify the base target window for all hyperlinks that do not specify a target window. See also the IHTMLBaseElement object.

Using the FPHTMLBaseElement object

Use the Item method to return an FPHTMLBaseElement object. The following example takes an FPHTMLDocument object and a String that represents the target window all hyperlinks in the document will use unless otherwise specified.

    Function SetBaseTarget(objDoc As FPHTMLDocument, _
        strTarget As String) As FPHTMLBaseElement
    Dim objHead As IHTMLElement
    
    If objDoc.all.tags("base").Length <= 0 Then
        Set objHead = objDoc.all.tags("head").Item(0)
        objHead.insertAdjacentHTML "beforeend", "<Base id=""basetarget"">"
        
        Set SetBaseTarget = objHead.all.tags("base").Item("basetarget")
    Else
        Set SetBaseTarget = objHead.all.tags("base").Item(0)
    End If
    
    SetBaseTarget.target = strTarget
End Function
  

Use the following example to call the preceding function.

    Sub CallSetBaseTarget()
    Call SetBaseTarget(ActiveDocument, "_blank")
End Sub
