Play My Typing Game View Some of My Artwork | Deciding your path to the file Its good to know that both the A tag and the IMG tag can use either local or remote files.
An example of referencing a file thats on a remote server is this syntax: (this is known as an absolute address)
<img src="http://www.website.com/some_folder/some_image.jpg" alt="" />
The time it takes your page to load is directly affected by the number of HTTP requests that occur. So, if you're hosting your page on a live webserver you can make things more efficient by referencing your file by relative path. When a relative path begins with a slash, it means to begin from the root folder your domain starts in.
<img src="/images/file.jpg" alt="" />
When the beginning slash is not present, the rules of beginning at the domain level no longer apply. Instead the browser will be looking for the file as a relative distance from the folder that the page is currently in.
<!--
let's imagine this page is at
http://www.webpage.com/index.html
and we want to access an image located at
http://www.webpage.com/picture.jpg
we'd need to use the following syntax
-->
<img src="picture.jpg" alt="" />
<!--
now, let's imagine this page is still at
http://www.webpage.com/index.html
but we want to access an image located in the images folder at
http://www.webpage.com/images/picture.jpg
we'd relatively walk in to the subfolder of where our page is at with this syntax:
-->
<img src="images/picture.jpg" alt="" />
<!--
now, let's imagine this page is at http://www.webpage.com/some_folder/another_folder/the_page.html
and we want to access an image located at http://www.webpage.com/images/picture.jpg
we'd need to use the following syntax
-->
<img src="../../images/picture.jpg" alt="" />
So, we've discussed
- when to use an absolute URL that begins http://
- when to start with only a / (start at the domain)
- when you don't start with a slash (destination is in the current folder, or its a folder or more deeper from where your webpage is)
- when you need to start with ../ to go up a folder level from where your webpage is
