the <base> element's argument is the base as the user would type it in on
his/her browser. If your URL for the top page document is
http://<ip here>/Projects/userhome/userpage.html
and you wanted that userhome directory to be the basis for relitave links,
the base would look like this:
<base href="http://<ip here>/Projects/userhome/"> (note no userpage.html)
