jquery set base href

I'm trying to set the base href with JQuery by reading a PHP file.

Why does $("base").load("ip.php"); work but $("base[property='href']").load("ip.php"); doesn't?

Of course what I need is to set the href parameter only, not the content of base. I found I could get it working by using $("head").load("ip.php"); but would like to know why above isn't working.

Try something like this to set href value

   $('base').attr('href','http://www.google.com');

Its depend how your file ip.php is

For example

ip.php 

<?php 
   echo 'http://www.google.com';

?>

Then 

$.get('ip.php',function(response){
    $("base").attr("href", response);
});

dont use load, use $.ajax!

$.ajax({
    url: "ip.php"
}).done(function (data) {
    $("base").attr("href", data);
});

I don't know exactly, but in my opinion, u got the meaning of the selector wrong. I think [property='href'] is not a valid selector. href is the property you should search for, and not the value.

You can select DOM-elements with jquery using $("base"). Additionally you can use a key-value combination to search for certain attribute-values of your element. 

$("a[href$='.org']")

With this selector you would select elements with a href attribute which ends with '.org'.

So the point is: you still select the DOM-element and NOT a part of that element. But your search is better specified.
