This snippet from an html page contains an absolute URL to a specific file on a specific web server. This is not a good idea. All pathnames in all web pages should be directory relative ... as in archive="JmolApplet.jar" OR archive="../JmolApplet.jar" OR archive="jmol/JmolApplet.jar" OR archive="../jmol/JmolApplet.jar" If you use an absolute URL then: - you cannot move the code to another web server - you cannot rename the web server - you cannot move the code to another place on the same web server - you cannot have a separate 'staging' area where you can test things out prior to release This applies to the JmolApplet, but it also applies to all url references within your web pages. If the links are within your own site then they should be directory relative URLs. One can build a site using absolute URLs (which begin with http://server.name) or server-relative URLs (which begin with /), and everything will work. But you end up painting yourself into a corner. It is just as easy to build things using relative URLs from the beginning. Then you have more flexibility to move your site from development machines to testing machines to production machines.
