Correct. Just as the filesystem eventually converts a relative path into an absolute. The relative reference is for your convenience, not the browsers nor the filesystems. If dealing with absolute references were easier for humans, there be no need for the file-system - just specify the track and sector numbers :-) I hope we agree that being able to use relative URLs in an HTML doc is a good thing ? I would hate to see it with absolute URLs everywhere. >??

Hmmm, I don't quite follow you - would you also argue along the same lines that people should be using absolute paths when including headers in C-code ?? /Per regards, Per Jessen, Zurich http://www.enidan.com - home of the J1 serial console.
