HTML FILE PATHS

An HTML file path is the location of an HTML file on your computer or server.

1. Simple meaning

A file path tells the browser where the file is stored.

Example:

C:\Users\YourName\Desktop\index.html   (Windows)

or

/home/user/Desktop/index.html          (Linux/Mac)

2. In a website (relative path)

When linking files in HTML, you usually use relative paths:

Same folder:

<a href="about.html">About</a>

Inside a folder:

<a href="pages/about.html">About</a>

Go back one folder:

<a href="../index.html">Home</a>

---

3. Absolute path (full URL or full system path)

Web URL:

<a href="https://example.com/about.html">About</a>

Local system (not recommended for websites):

file:///C:/Users/YourName/Desktop/index.html

---

4. Common HTML use

<img src="images/photo.jpg" alt="Photo">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
<script src="script.js"></script>
