What is the difference between relative and absolute path?

Answer 1

Ok if you set value
left:200px;
top:100px;

now set to absolute
You will see that your content
far from left of its parent by 200px and far from top of its parent by 100px

now set to relative
You will see that your content
far from left of its currently position by 200px and far from top of its currently position by 100px

Answer 2

relative means starting from where you are currently...absolute means starting from beginning

e.g class/7th is relative and c:/projects/class/7th is absolute
