Setting base path dynamically through jquery/javascript?

Is there a way to dynamically alter the content inside the tag?, throught jquery or javascript?

I am not using php or any server side script. I am using backbone.js & hence i have a .html file.

I have come to a situation where i would need to type in base path.

Like

<base href="www.google.com" />

I have searched around & i havent received anywhere.

Probably this is not possible at all, yet just wanted to check it here in stackoverflow.

Using jQuery. Here is jsFiddle I’ve made http://jsfiddle.net/uQVeN/

HTML:

<base href="www.google.com" /><div id="valueBefore"></div><div id="valueAfter"></div>

JS:

$(document).ready(function(){    $('#valueBefore').text( $('base').attr('href') );    $('base').attr('href','kjhsgdkjahgdjkahgdf');    $('#valueAfter').text( $('base').attr('href') );});

Will produce:

www.google.comkjhsgdkjahgdjkahgdf
