Sets or retrieves the URL of the component.
Syntax
HTML <ELEMENT CODEBASE = sLocation ... > Scripting object.codeBase [ = sLocation ]
Possible Values
sLocation String that represents the URL of the component, which can be appended with:
#Version=a,b,c,d Version of the component, where a,b,c,d are as indicated below. If the client computer has a newer version installed, no download occurs.
a High-order word of the major version of the component available at the specified URL. b Low-order word of the major version of the component available at the specified URL. c High-order word of the minor version of the component available at the specified URL. d Low-order word of the minor version of the component available at the specified URL. The property is read/write with no default value.
Remarks
Applets do not support versioning information supplied as part of the URL.
If a,b,c,d are all set to -1 (#Version=-1,-1,-1,-1), the component is downloaded from the server if the release date is later than the installation date on the client computer. If the component is installed on the client computer and the release date is the same or earlier than the installation date, only an HTTP header transaction occurs.
