Writing html:
URLs:
Uniform Resource Locator, or site address. Each file on the internet has a unique
URL.
http://www.site.com/liz/file.html
(a file on a web site)
(scheme)(server name)(path)
ftp://ftp.site.com/pub/prog.exe
(a file on an ftp 'File Transfer Protocol' site)
file:///Harddisk/Web/home.htm (a file on your hard disk)
Absolute
vs Relative URLs:
An absolute URL shows the entire path to the file, including the scheme, server
name,
the complete path, and the file name:
www.site.com/web/index.html
With a relative URL, it
points to files in relation to where it is:
index.html (we are in the same folder)
images/image.gif (there is a folder in here with me,"images",
and inside it is "image.gif"))
../info/data.html (Inside the folder I am in, there is also a folder
called "info" and "data.html" is inside it)
