baseref vs actinic:basehref

[jxm28788]

Hi,

Is there any reason why the baseref looks like this in actinic generated code -

<Actinic:BASEHREF VALUE="http://www.my-site.co.uk/"/>

As opposed to the normal -

<basehref="http://www.my-site.co.uk/">

If I replace the 1st with the 2nd would it still work?

And also, what does this actually do?

<meta name="ACTINICTITLE" content="NETQUOTEVAR:PAGEHEADER">

The meta tag title is set elsewhere, so what is the use of this line?

why don't you experiment and find out and let us know.

Because my sites are all live e-commerce sites and I don't want to break them just to test some unconfirmed SEO theory. Better to just ask, and let some knowledgable actinic support person answer it...

You can use your test site for this stuff OR install on another PC.

There is no such tag as basehref. You may be thinking of the <base ...> tag which can have href or target attributes.

The generated <Actinic:BASEHREF .....> tag should be left alone as this is used by the various Perl scripts to work out whether Perl generated HTML needs to include a <base ....> tag or not.

A simple rule of thumb is that unless you know exactly what non-standard tags are for - and do under every circumstance - they are best left alone.

ok, will leave it be, thanks.
