Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) and absolute Links

The Content Editor Web Part as we ship it in WSS and MOSS always stores URLs as absolute Links. That will cause problems as soon as you are extending a web application to multiple IIS websites or when using Alternate Access Mapping (AAM) to support multiple zones.

In these situations the CEWP will return the wrong URLs.
