Either way of writing URL references is valid, and which one is better depends on your site structure, for example I personally favour using absolute paths for content in another branch of the site tree, instead of using ../../../../../otherbranch/index.html from one file and ../../../../../../otherbranch/index.html from another. > Using relative paths allows the downloading of a set of pages so that they > may be used without being connect to the internet. Depends on how clever the program downloading the files is, it may be able to replace paths, for example with Netscape you can get paths changed by editing the page, then saving it locally. -- Klaus Johannes Rusch KlausRusch@atmedia.net http://www.atmedia.net/KlausRusch/
