Relative Vs Absolute Path

Question

Can someone explain the difference between a relative and an absolute Path ?
Any help would be appreciated !

Answer 1

Relative is like shorthand. You will need to tell the file what the base path is in the head of your HTML file.

(You can also accomplish this in a CSS preprocessor but it's pretty complicated.)
