GIF files may be compressed without loss of information. Other files and anchors are the targets of links. A link can be either an absolute link or a relative link. Absolute links specify the full location of a file. You can only use absolute links to link to a file on a different server or disk.
Relative links omit part of the file specification and use the current location as the default.
It's usually best to use relative links within your own web site. Relative links allow you to move the entire directory tree to a new location without breaking your links. You should try to use absolute links only to references files outside your own web. Type the URL in the Link To Page field. Click OK .
