Syntax
Description
The
codebase attribute is used to set the base URL for
the value specified in the classid attribute,
overriding any base URL set in the head of the document.
In the example shown, the
codebase is identified as
"http://bestjavaappsever.com/classes/" (the complete
path suggests that the resources are held on another server), while the
classid refers to a file entitled
"calendar.class". The full address for the calendar
code would therefore be interpreted as
http://bestjavaappsever.com/classes/calendar.class.
Example
Here,
codebase defines the base URL of
"http://bestjavaappsever.com/classes/":
<object classid="calendar.class"
codebase="http://bestjavaappsever.com/classes/"></object>
Value
This attribute takes a URI,
which may be a complete path on another server (for example,
"http://bestjavaappsever.com/classes/", or could be a
different folder on the same server, as follows:
<object classid="calendar.class"
codebase="/code/java-classes/"></object>
