Not wanting to manually have to change every single absolute to a relative (because some files are called from multiple sources leading to time consuming complicated conditional relative link) I looked for ways to simple "convert" my original absolutes to relatives and come up with this. Basically, this adds the appropriate number of back links (../'s) so that it starts at your server root. This makes relative linking easier because they will always start from the same place no matter where you are or what file may be making the link. This is just a first run of it, I know of some improvements that could be made (primarily, making it a class instead of a definition because once this is set it's stuck, causing it to work incorrectly at times) but this version works for basic sites.
