First, you can easily set up an endless loop for your visitors in which the same page is
constantly being refreshed. If you are working with a page that updates often, enter a longer Refresh value,
such as 300 or 500. You should be sure to include a link to another page to enable users to exit from the
continually refreshed page. You should also be aware that many search engines will not index pages using the
refresh tag because of widespread abuse by certain industries on the Web.

Accessing the Code Directly 6
Changing bases
Through the Base object, the section enables you to exert fundamental control over the basic
HTML element: the link. The code inserted by this object specifies the base URL for the current page. If you
use relative addressing (covered in Chapter 10), you can switch all your links to another directory??”even
to another Web site??”with one command. The Base object takes two attributes: Href, which redirects all
the other relative links on your page; and target, which specifies where the links are rendered.
To insert a Base object in your page, follow these steps:
1. Choose Insert ??? HTML ??? Head Tags ??? Base or select the Base object from the Head menu of the
Text category of the Insert bar.
