What is an absolute path in a URL reference of a hypertext link?
An absolute path in an HTML document is a hypertext link’s URL address as a complete path that includes the web server protocol. An absolute path starts with the letters HTTP or some other protocol. Absolute paths remain accurate regardless of the location of the source of the originating HTML Document. It must be an absolute path when creating a link to a file outside the current web site. Another option for creating links are document relative or root relative paths.
