I see what you mean now about it does not take a genius to figure it out. I just wanted to know why this teacher said it is important to use relative linking as opposed to absolute linking. I know the page will load quicker with relative linking and it is easier to transfer it to another website but really why is it a must?
Thank you for your insights.

It isn't a "must", lots of websites use absolute positioning, and it works. But it is better for the reasons you mentioned, possibly for others I cannot think of right now. And it depends on the software you use. With some programs, if you set the editor to use absolute postioning it will do so, and when you upload the site, all the images will be referenced as being somewhere on your computers hard disk.
Of course, if you use absolute positioning on a 1000 page site, and then decide you are fed up with your host or domain name, by the time you are finished editing, you will never, ever use absolute positioning again.
You should upload all images to your own website
including backgrounds.
If you worried about space or bandwidth you
can store all images in a photobucket image hosting
account.
that will only work for so long... you can go through those frames with ease....
if you really and I mean really want to stop people from seeing you source one of two options
1. encypt the source code useing jvscript
2. encrypt your source using php
either one of these can also still be by passed however any one who just knwos the basics and possibly know a little bit f andvaced stuff this will intimmidate people from trying to get your stuff
