Erik: I can't use relative URLs because of how my hosting service (my
university) is set up. Each account is at something like
www.university.edu/~studentname/. I could hard code it if I were
leaving it on my space, but I'm making it for a group (which has space
at www.university.edu/group/groupname/), and when I move it over, I'd
like to have to go through and change as little as possible.
Tim: I'll look into those solutions.
Thanks to both of you.
