Absolute Links to Relative


Pro.Luv

Recommended Posts

 

Hi gevans,  no not that type of absolute...

 

An absolute link defines a specific location of the Web file or document including: the protocol to use to get the document, the server to get it from, the directory it is located in, and the name of the document itself. Below is an example of an absolute link:

 

<a href="http://www.domain.com/pagename.html"></a>

 

With a relative link, the search engine spiders and browsers already know where the current document is located. Thus, if you link to another document in the same directory, you will not need to write out the full URL. Only the file name is necessary. Below is an example of a relative link:

 

<a href="pagename.html"></a>
