Problem description

<base> tag is not working in Webview preview tab.

Expected behavior

Actual behavior

<base> tag functionality seems to be removed.

Steps to reproduce

This replit is not working within the Webview, there’s a runtime error:

Seems that replit does something with the <base> tag? If you pop it out into its own window, then it works:

Here’s the same demo on CodePen for reference, it is plain HTML:

Bump! Looking for a solution to this bug.

Update: Solution, add: anywhere in your code.

<script>document.head.innerHTML = "<base href='/staff/'>" + document.head.innerHTML;</script>
