Calling a controller method from a view

[eluser]Simon Phoenix[/eluser]
I'm sure this is an easy one but does anybody know a way to call a controller method from a view without specifing the entire url each time.

For example how can you use:

Code:

<a href="controller/method/value">

instead of:

Code:

<a href="domain_name/controller/method/value">

I've tried leaving the domain name out but get an error message. Can you specify the domain name globally so you don't need to repeat it in every url?
