HTML File Paths

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

When linking to external files, file paths are used:

  • Web pages
  • Images
  • Style sheets
  • JavaScripts

Absolute File Paths

An absolute file path defines the full URL address to an internet file.

Example

<html>
<body>
  <h2>Using a Full URL File Path</h2>
  <img src="image/tortoise.jpg" alt="Tortoise" style="width:400px">
</body>
</html>
