Is it better to use a relative or absolute URL to internal links?
The URL of an internal link may take three forms: • Absolute URL: http://www.scriptol.com/mypage.html • Relative URL: /mypage.html • Local URL: mypage.html Some editors like Dreamweaver promote local roads, but this form of URL is not recommended. The absolute path must be preferred. It refers to your site when the page is displayed on a news aggregator. The relative path works only if the server is configured to set “/” as the root of the site (rather than the root account on the server). It is useful only to change the domain. Local paths must is avoided. Local URL are not taken into account by Analytics for statistical distribution of clicks.
