Uniform Resource Locators/ Web addresses

• Use lower case and no spaces to name files.
• Don't use punctuation in your file or directory name.

Absolute URLs show the entire path to the file, including scheme, server, directories and filename.

Relative URLs use the browser's knowledge of where the file you are using is located to "fill in the blanks" about the file you are linking to.
