URL question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 13.2006

In cgi you can refer to a page by an absolute address (ex: /home/user/www/), so that you can always start at the top when addressing a file. Is there something similar for html? I hate starting everything off with [url]http://www[/url]. etc.

thanks,

mike

<a href="/folder2/file5.html">

. . . is the same as http://yourdomain.com/folder2/file5.html

Or you can use relative url's. If a file is in the same directory as the one you're linking from you can use:

<a href="filename.html">
