title: Does IE not support the base tag?
body: <p>I am unclear on IE's support for the <code>&lt;base&gt;</code> tag. Some articles suggest that it only works with an absolute href path. But it won't work for me.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;base href="http://domain.net/qu/en/" /&gt;
  
  &lt;a href="sample"&gt;Sample Link&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On chrome and FF, clicking on the link will take me to <code>http://domain.net/qu/en/sample</code> but in IE9, it's taking me to <code>http://domain.net/qu/sample</code></p>
  
  <p>I tried this with a relative <code>&lt;base&gt;</code> as well, and it doesn't appear to work.</p>
  
  <p>I have only tested this in IE9.08</p>
