About absolute and relative URLs
You
can enter an absolute or relative URL in the URL panel.
To link to a web page that is beyond your own website,
use an absolute URL.
To link to a web page within your website, use either one.
Absolute
URLs are complete, including the server protocol, which is usually http://
for web pages. For example, http://www.adobe.com/support/fireworks is
the absolute URL for the Fireworks Support web page. Absolute URLs
remain accurate regardless of the location of the source document,
but they do not link correctly if the target document is moved.
Relative
URLs are relative to the folder containing the source document. Relative
URLs are usually the simplest to use for links to files in the same
folder as the current document. These examples show the navigation
syntax of relative URLs:
file.htm links to a file located in the same folder as the
source document.
../../file.htm links to a file located in the folder two
levels above the folder containing the source document. Each ../
represents one level.
htmldocs/file.htm links to a file located in a folder named
htmldocs, which is in the folder containing the source document.
