A page in the same directory

This page was linked to from this page. Since they are in the same directory, the value of the href attribute is simply the name of the file we wish to link to. The protocol, domain name and path to the are not needed.

In fact, it would be a bad idea to include them. If you did so, and one day wanted to move your Web site to a different host, all of the links would break. Keeping the links within the site means you can freely move it.
