You could simply remove all full domain+path URL links and replace
them with absolute path urls only.

turn http://www.somedomain.com/path/to/my/webpage.html

into /path/to/my/webpage.html

This would work with either domain.

Those would be "relative paths", ..o?


No.

Quick Google search turns up this:

http://www.uvsc.edu/disted/decourses/dgm/2120/IN/steinja/lessons/06/06_04.html

I have three description or types of paths that I use normally.

I feel the first two generally get grouped together by most persons.

Full or complete path:
    <a href="http://www.cmsws.com/index.php";>Home</a>

Absolute Path:
    <a href="/index.php">Home</a>

Relative:
    <a href="index.php">Home</a>

Anything that does not "absolutely" define something, is "relative" to the current context. In this case since your href does not mention the sitename, in my book that equates to something relative. Count me as one person who would never lump the first two ex. into one. The simple device of using the leading slash to start the href indicates its "relativity" to the the home folder of the site. The lack of a leading slash indicates its "relativity" to the current folder.
