What is the difference between relative URL and absolute URL?
An absolute path refers to the path to a file on a computer. For example, on a Unix system, an absolute path begins with a '/' and on a Microsoft Windows machine, it will begin with a drive letter, a ':' and a backslash (eg 'C:\') or a '\\' indicating a path to another computer. A relative path is the path to a file from the current directory. On a unix system this path will begin with a character other than a '/' (any other character could begin a relative path). For example, if one is currently in the directory /home/user42/ and there is a directory named /home/user42/mail/ then the relative path to mail is simply 'mail/'. If there is a directory /home/user41/songs/ then the relative path is '../user41/songs/'. If one is in the directory /home/ then the relative paths are user42/mail/ and user41/songs/, respectively.
