what is the difference between ABSOLUTE and RELATIVE in HTML?

Answer 1

@Andrew you're right. the part about sizing is correct though. didn't think the positioning through.

Answer 2

@Maad no, they won't appear next to each other, because p and h1 are block elements. they're in separate lines.

Answer 3

absolute path: http://www.example.com/your/path/here/index.html
relative path: your/path/index.html
the second one starts from the document you're currently at.

absolute position/size: something in px
relative: something in %
values in % are relative to the browser's standard sizing or relative to what you defined before or relative to the patent element.

Answer 4

Ive encountered absolute and relative in positioning using css back when I created my first website, yet I still cant completely understand how it works. But your answer did help me, get an idea, i'll get there. Thanks Mario.

Answer 5

relative is like a /anyfolder. and absolute like whole complete address.. like https://www.envie.tech/anyfolder.

if u want to let the site working on every different domain name u can do that...

but if u chnge the base ur that is http://www.envie.tech . then u will unable to view or u can't be able to. chnge ur files locations

Answer 6

Example:
h1 p{
position:relative;
left:10px;
}
now when you write this code for html
<p>hello</p>
<h1>Adam</h1>
The resulte is:
hellow Adam
now Adam after hello became 10px
that mean in relative aftar last code here last code before code <h1> is <p>
but in absolute he write Adam aftar 10px from begain page
and Adam be above hello because them have same left postion in css

Ihope understand this
