links

Absolute vs Relative URLs:

Absolute URL:
ex. http://www.mysite.com

Relative URL:
ex. mypage.html/horse1.html

An absolute URL points to a page on the Internet outside of where your site lives.
A relative URL points to files relative in location to itself (in folders on your site).

Use relative URL's when possible. Keeping all of your site assets in one place on the web for your site relative to eachother in one package. This way you can move your files and nothing will break.

sample site:

• my site folder
• index.html
• page1.html
• page2.html
• images
  • pict1.gif
  • pict2.gif
  • pict3.gif
• movies
  • mov1.mov
  • mov2.mov
  • mov3.mov
