I'm confused as to when the following are used and what they mean, for example in the src attribute of an img tag.
I know / means 'current directory' and ../ means 'up one directory'
. Current Directory? <a href="." /> ./ Current Directory <img src="./image.png" /> / Root directory <img src="/image.png" /> ../ Up one directory <img src="../image.png" />
What is the difference between ./image.png and /image.png
Updated : / means root directory of the site
/
means starting from the root directory. Whereas ./
is the current directory, though I'm not sure there's any need for it (unless you're planning on appending to a PATH
in Linux systems... happy to be wrong about that one).
./image.png
will grab image.png relative to your current location. Calling ./image.png on domain.tld/site/page.html
will look for the image at domain.tld/site/image.png
/image.png
will look for the image in the root of your site. domain.tld/image.png
../images/image.png
.
If this was used on domain.tld/site/page.html
, the browser would load the image from domain.tld/images/image.png
The / means the root directory. Use . For the current directory.
