You should use "relative path" links to link
to files and images within your website. If the server sees a
link that looks like this "email.htm" it will automatically look within your
website's folder to find that file. Using relative path links makes
it a lot easier to move your "entire website" to a different
web server.
You should continue to use "absolute path"
links to link to files and images that are located in other webservers or other folders
on a webserver.
Remember, be careful using relative or absolute links. Always test
to see if your links and images work in your web browser.
