Parent/Child Information
Parent elements ASX, ENTRY Child elements None Remarks
This element defines a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) string appended to the front of URL-flip URLs sent to the Windows Media Player control. URL-flipping is a scripting mechanism that causes the Windows Media Player 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 Windows Media Player.
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 attribute does not end with a '/' character, the Windows Media Player appends one to the end of the string.
Example
<BASE HREF="http://samples.microsoft.com/" />
