That extra "../" I have to type now and then is offset by the leading "/" that I never have to type. Seriously though - it's not more work one way or the other, unless you are changing a huge complex app to conform to a different link standard, which I would not recommend. Alot of framework based applications use a front controller that can easily (and quickly) be modified to be relative (or not). > It's better to just use name based virtual hosts in your web server as others > have suggested - as a bonus your dev. environment will more closely match > live, which leads to less surprise at deploy time :-) Eh - I'd say what's better is what matches your development standard. What's better for you may not be better for me, vice-versa. I've found relative links give me a great deal of flexibility and I don't end up with a buncha hosts file entries everyone on the team has to manage. For me, it's much less work.
