Yes, this is because you typed in a relative URL. This is simply bad
HTML, not a bug in Zope.
If you want to reference an off-site resource in an HTML anchor tag, you
MUST specify 'http://machine/'. Simply putting the machine name in
there will not do it for any platform.
I would suggest checking out any one of a gazillion good books on HTML.
