What does being absolute or relative mean?

Answer 1

absolute path is full path to your destination, including protocol e.g. "http://", " ftp://" etc. Use it when you need to point target source somewhere in the outside web. example: <a href="http://site.com/folder/page.html">

relative path is used to point target source in the folders on the web-server in which current page is located. You don't have to type full path, only filename and path. examples:
<a href="page.html"> means page.html file, nested in the same directory with your html file.
<a href="myfolder/file.html"> means file.html file, located in myfolder subfolder, which is located in the directory with your html file.

I.e. relative path is path relating to your current html file.

You can be absolutely awesome or relatively awesome. If you're relatively awesome, you might own a sports car, date a super model, live in a mansion, and have perfect teeth. if you're absolutely awesome, you can type in over ten languages.
