absolute Vs Relative Links 2

[MikeDee]

Does anybody know which type of path/link is better.

I heard well Absolute is better for copying and pasting, but I heard that it is slower.

Is this true?

is it smth like

<a href=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.somewhere.com/somefile.html&quot;>absolute</a>[/URL]
<a href=&quot;somefile.html&quot;>relative</a>

<a href=&quot;

http://www.somewhere.com/somefile.html&quot;>absolute</a>

the Adv and disadv of this

<a href=&quot;somefile.html&quot;>relative</a>


Which of the above would you use?

Hi Mike,

I would use the second one because it keeps the file
size down (not by much but still) so it downloads faster.
Furthermore, the second one has the advantage that it
doesnt matter to what domain you upload the files
(provided that they are on the same domain in the same
directory), they will always work (some servers are case-
sensitive though).

BobbaFet Everyone has a right to my opinion.
