## Absolute and Relative Locations

Relative locations (URLs) are resolved according to the location (URL) of the containing (starting) document!

#### Absolute or Fully Qualified URLs

Absolute, or fully-qualified, URLs specify the complete information (scheme, host, port, path).

`https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2021/02/harvard-researchers-analyze-bacteria-in-the-human-mouth/`

#### Relative or Partial URLs

Relative, or partial, URIs specify partial information. The information not provided is resolved from the current location.

`<a href="slide2.html">Slide 2</a>`

#### Relative to Server Root

Is this relative or absolute? Scheme, host, and port would be resolved from current location, but path is absolute
