Reading URL for link, relative links area normal and desirable things
(except when used in contexts that specify that absolute ones must
be used).

If you are currently viewing
http://www.somedomain.net/subdirectory/weppage.html, and you see
anotherpage.html, that is a relative link to:
http://www.somedomain.net/subdirectory/anotherpage.html.
../index.html is a relative link to:
http://www.somedomain.net/index.html, etc (".." means the same as in
Unix and MS operating systems - move up a directory level). This means
that the links within the site are independent of where the site is
actually held - you can have the site in a subdirectory on your hard
disk and all the links will still be consistent.
You can also have a halfway house in which /index.html means
http://www.somedomain.net/index.html, from anywhere in the site.
It's generally bad practice for links within a site to be anything
but relative.
