What is the difference between a relative and absolute URL? Please give an example of each.
A relative URL "points to a file/directory in relation to the present file/directory." For example: "assets/images/img1.png" is the relative url of the image on the left.
An absolute URL "points directly to the exact location of a file/directory on the internet." The URL will include the entire string beginning with "http://www……all the way to the very end….pdf" For example: "http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/design/relative_and_absolute_urls.php3" is the absolute url to a website referring to relative and absolute urls.
What is the advantage of managing files, i.e. renaming, moving, and deleting files, through Dreamweaver's Files Panel?
