By default Internet Explorer converts all URLs in hyperlinks (anchor tags) and images (img tags) to absolute URLs.

You need to set RemoveServerNamesFromUrl property to true to get the relative URLs. When this property is set to true, CuteEditor strips out the local server name from all A and IMG tags if the hostname in the URL matches the current hostname.
