HTML File Paths

A file path describes the location of a file in a web site’s folder structure.

File paths are used when linking to external files like:

• Web pages
• Images
• Style sheets
• JavaScripts

Absolute File Paths

An absolute file path is the full URL to an internet file:

Example

<img src="https://www.aaravtechcorner.com.com/images/logo.jpg" alt="Logo">

Relative File Paths

A relative file path points to a file relative to the current page.

In this example, the file path points to a file in the images folder located at the root of the current web:

Example

<img src="/images/Logo.jpg" alt="Logo">

In this example, the file path points to a file in the images folder located in the current folder:

Example

<img src="images/Logo.jpg" alt="Logo">

In this example, the file path points to a file in the images folder located in the folder one level above the current folder:

<img src="../images/Logo.jpg" alt="Logo">
