Relative and Absolute paths

[jim-rosales]

You should avoid using absolute paths such as file:///Users/danealdenjutila/Downloads/capstone_colmar_assets/images/ic-logo.svg when linking images to a project. The reason for this is because when you move your project onto another machine, your images won't work. For example, when I download your project and open it in a browser what is shown is a broken page as seen below:

Instead of using an absolute path where you write out the full path (address) of where the image is located you should use relative paths. Relative paths indicate where an image is relative to the project.

Next time you should try and group all your files in a structure like shown below:

This will allow you to be more organized and let you move your project freely onto different machines without having to change file paths.

If you use the file structure above you would access your images like this: <img src="resources/images/ic-logo.svg" alt="logo-icon">
