I usually use short ones, as it allows the whole site to be copied to offline and it is much cleaner. However, if full URLs are used, a single page can be copied off of the server and it will still work (with internet connection). This is not worth it often, but it certainly is occasionally. And by no means should one ever mix long URLs and relative ones to the same site. -If firefox sees that you are linking to the directory that you're already in, will it still do a DNS lookup and make a second request to the server? Perhaps if I embedded a copy of a page in itself, and did this for about 15 recursions there could be noticeable load-time if this was true.

It doesn't work. So the href is now "/media/team/penguin.png", but Dreamweaver just doesn't like it. It says that it can't find it. However, when I delete the src park of the <img> tag then retype src, Dreamweaver offers to allow me to browse my site and look for it. When I point Dreamweaver to the /media/team/penguin.png in Dreamweaver's file-browser then it says, "Okay". So I'll have to do that a hundred times! I used the find-and-replace tool in Dreamweaver.
It doesn't work.

If so, (I think) you could use a mass-find-and-replace tool to change "href=Dreamweaver/" to "href=" . Either way I'd use Python scripts to change it, just because I cannot stand typing the same thing multiple times multiple times.
