Changing Base Href

royweb · Jan 13, 2006

I have a <base href="page1.html"> in the <head> section and want to change that URL based on a checkbox.

Sample code:

function change_base_href()
{
if (change_url.checked)
}

Can someone provide me the javascript code that makes the "base href" to change to another URL?

Thank you.

I don't think you can dynamically do this on the fly..... It would be like trying to dynamically change the src of an imported javascript or css file.... I don't think you can change the values of most stuff defined in the <head> section.

I guess this is worth a shot, but if it doesn't worth then it's probably not possible:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<base href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.blah.com/images/"[/URL] [!]id="myBase"[/!] />

<script type="text/javascript">
function changeBase(obj) {
   if (obj.checked) {
      document.getElementById("myBase").href = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.somethingdifferent.com/";[/URL]
   }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="checkbox" onclick="changeBase(this)" />change the base
</body>
</html>
