Not true, Linux requires that there's a space, but DOS works either way.
However a path in a program will require that there's no space regardless
of OS (well it might work anyway but that's beside the point).

It is? They (diffrent OS) always use the same one so there's no point in
making it like that. And a dynamic URL is better if you move it (and when
you test the pages). One of the most common misstakes (except HTML errors)
is to use a static URL that points to your HD. "It works in Explorer on my
computer - perhaps you should get that instead of [insert name of other
browser]." IMNSHO people like that should get another HTML editor instead.

It is? I always prefer that way since it's faster. If someone goes to a
page with the same image on it will be loaded from the cache instead of
downloaded again - "Netscape Now" images that were so popular in the
infancy of the WWW is a prime example of where you could save a lot.
Of course copying someones entire image/picture gallerys is another thing.
