What is the difference between a relative and absolute URL? Please give an example of each.
-
Absolute URLs are independent from relationships and give you the direct name of a file. Relative URLs point to a file/directory in relation to the present file/directory. Absolute URLs contain more information than relative URLs. A relative URL can be more convenient because it's shorter and often more portable, but you can only use them to reference links on the same server as the page that contains them.
An Absolute URL would look like:
<img src="https://rannierodil.tripod.com/assets/images/vomitad.jpg">
A Relative URL would look like:
<img src="../images/vomitad.jpg">
