There are two methods;

1. Relative path
2. Absolute path

Relative path: need to put both files in one folder, so there is no need to put the full path indicating that there is a file located. For example <a href=”b.html”>Click here</a>

Can I put the image in a separate folder and code file in the separate folder?

Yes, you can but you need to put the absolute path.

What is the absolute path?

An absolute path is a full path indicating that where is the file located.

For example

Suppose;

• your image name is 1
• Your image type is jpg
• Your image is in folder (images)

Then we can put the code as follows:  <img src=”images/1.jpg” />

More examples of absolute path

• <a href=”folder1/b.html”>Click here</a>
• <a href=”folder1/folder2/b.html”>Click here</a>
• <a href=”../b.html”>Click here</a>
• <a href=”../../b.html”>Click here</a>
