I am a fan of relative paths... But I am becoming more of the mind set that the path should be "Application URL" (ex. http://www.bennadel.com/) + "root-relative path (ex. foo/bar/blam.gif). I currently do relative relative (ex. ../../../), but especially when dealing with SEO links vs. front-controllre links, its becoming more of a hassle to have the ../../ style relative.
What I don't like is the idea of using absolute-relative paths ( "/foo/bar/blam.gif" ) as this makes presumptions about where the root folder is. This is not flexible. ......................

I like relative. Relative work better with cfincludes and don't require creating a mapping in the cfadmin. I've been raised on raltive paths. I have a newbie that is using site root paths. I've read the help files and they tell you to chose what you're most comfortbale with. Please post your thoughts.
