here's my problem.

would anyone be willing to maybe breakdown how this works, maybe do the first 1 or 2 of these and explain it to me?


Absolute vs Relative Path
Give an HTML page found at the absolute URL: http://stungeye.com/school/index.php

If this page contains the following collection of links, provide the equivalent absolute path for each:

1) <a href="/">Link Text</a>
2) <a href="/test/tester.php">Link Text</a>
3) <a href="test/tester.php">Link Text</a>
4) <a href="tester.php">Link Text</a>
5) <a href="/tester.php">Link Text</a>
6) <a href="?ghost=grins">Link Text</a>
7) <a href="#grinning">Link Text</a>
8) <a href="test/index.php?ghost=grins">Link Text</a>
9) <a href="/#grinning">Link Text</a>


here's a guide on URL's.

idk If im understanding what i need to do here.

relative path: I call you on the phone and tell you to take walk 100 yards north, and 30 yards east.
absolute path: I call you on the phone and tell you to go to 1313 Elm Street.

The relative path is the path based on your current location (and will only work from that location, if I had called someone at a different location and told them to go 100m north, 30m east; they would end up the wrong spot), the absolute path will work no matter where you are.

thanks.

I really liked your anallogy on that!

so absolute would kinda be like an area code for a phone number?

The absolute would be the full path.

whereas the relative is the location, like o in that example, if you where the the location http://stungeye.com/school/test

then the relative path to tester is simply adding /tester.php

because its relative to your current location.
