Why did my link break at school?
Short answer. It was absolute, so the full path no longer matched.
Which kind should you use for your own files?
Relative.
Two kinds
| Kind | Stores | If moved |
|---|---|---|
| Absolute | Full path | Breaks |
| Relative | From folder | Works |
Remember
| Websites: absolute |
| Own files: relative |
Your link worked at home but broke at school. Why? There are two kinds. Absolute stores the full path, so it breaks if moved. Relative starts from your folder, so it works. Remember. Absolute for websites. Relative for your own files.
