David, can you clarify what you mean by attribute, please? Do you mean an attribute on each element to specify which <base> it is to reference? Like this pseudo-code: <base href="http://cdn.provider.com/" id="cdn"> <base href="http://www.mysite.com/images/" id="images"> <base href="http://youtube.com/" id="video"> <img src="image-from-cdn.jpg" base="cdn" alt="Image from CDN"> <img src="image-from-mysite.jpg" base=" images " alt="Image from mysite.com"> <video src="video1234.mpg" base="cdn" alt="Video from YouTube"> Or do you mean something else? Apologies for sounding dim, my brain is on strike today. Chris This message has been scanned for malware by SurfControl plc. www.surfcontrol.com
