absolute path : c:/folder/subfolder/doc.txt relative path: lets say that you are in the subfolder and you want to to to a .txt file in the root of c: drive relative to your current position (c:/folder/subfolder), you will need to do up to levels to reach the root (c:). in a src it will look like this. absolute path:

<img src="c:/images/sub_images/image.jpg">

relative path (if my current position in in the sub_images folder and i want to get an image from images/another_sub_folder):

<img src="../another_sub_folder/image.jpg">
