Question

Point out the difference between relative and absolute URL.

Answer 1

URL means uniform Resource Locator. 

Two type of URL

1. Relative URL: Here we explicitly give the web site address

Eg: <Ahref=http://www.hscap,kerala.gov.in>

2. Absolute URL: Here we implicitly give the web site address. The path is not specified here. 

Eg: Consider the web pages index.html and school.html saved in the folder C:\BVM.

The file indexs.html contains the following

<A href-’school.htmr’>.

Here we did not specify the full path of the file school.html. But this implicitly points to the file stored in C:\BVM.
