Hi, i'm not sure about efficiency in computing, but i use the relative one
most of the time, for the mere fact that if i move the files to a different
machine or server, i don't have to change all the absolute references to
relfect the new machine/server.

Heres a question;

I am working of some web site scripting and wonder if any of you know
which is more effecient to call;

a) an absolute reference, e.g <a href="http://elementregistry/history.html">

or

b) a relative reference e.g. <a href="../../history.html">

Or doesnt it make any real difference?

Thanks

I like it when website designers use relative URLs. On WebTV, when a link is
highlighted, you press crtl + cmd to see the target address; however, you're
limited to the number of characters displayed in the little window, so the
final page/site location cannot be seen with a lengthy A-HREF. Also true
with other browsers...
