<A> tag and SSL/HTTPS

[wannaknow]

Do I have to use a fully qualified url when putting an <A HREF=> tag
on my web page?

I wish I could do this :
<a href="https://[pagetitle].asp">[pagetitle]</a>

or:
<a href="[pagetitle].asp:443">[pagetitle]</a>

or something else. It seems to get to the secure port it wants the
full url with domain and everything.

Any ideas on how to simplify the link?

Unfortunately, you can't. When you use a relative URL, everything that
precedes it is assumed to be the same as its counterpart for the
current page. For a URL like

/site/dir/subdir/page.html

the protocol, host, and port are taken to be the same as for the
current page. For a URL like

page.html

the protocol, host, port, and directory are taken to be the same as
for the current page.
