Re: Absolute vs. relative URLs in navigation bar links

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Probably not. Your problem is that you are using a JavaScript menu
which requires root relative or absolute links to work in a multilevel
(folders) web site. Unless the web structure on the test machine is
identical to that on the production server the menu will not work on
both. In other words, you cannot use http://mysite.com/page.htm as
the web address on the production server unless you also use
http://ip_address/page.htm on the test server. This can be done using
IIS as well as with xampp - but you lose the flexibility of several
sites in folders such as http://ip_address/mysite/
Using IIS does enable you to use all the features in FrontPage.
