The company description will be published here soon. Absolute and Relative URLs As you have already seen, a URL is used to locate a resource on the Internet. Each Web page and image—in fact every file on the Internet—has a unique URL, the address that can be used to find that particular file. No two files on the Internet share the same URL. If you want to access a particular page of aWeb site, you type the URL for that page into the address bar in your browser. For example, to get the page about film on the fictional news site you met earlier in the chapter you might type in the URL: http://www.exampleNewsSite.com/Entertainment/Film/index.htm An absolute URL like this one contains everything you need to uniquely identify a particular file on the Internet. As you can see, absolute URLs can quickly get quite long, and every page of aWeb site can contain many links. So it’s about time you learned the shorthand for URLs that point to files within yourWeb site: relative URLs.
