A Uniform Resource Locator, commonly abbreviated as URL, specifies the exact location of resources (usually a file) on the internet. URL's are a subset of a larger plan for Universal Resource Identifiers(URIs). There are three different types of URLs.

Absolute URLs are a complete Internet address to give the location of a resource. Specify the transfer protocol first, then the particular server on which the file is located, and finally the actual path on the server. The server is referred to as the resource's "network host" and can be addressed by either domain name or numerical IP address.

Example

http://www.layoutgalaxy.com/index.html        -        Absolute URL

Note

http://255.23.244.221/main.html - is the URL interpreted by a web as an instruction to use the hypertext transfer protocal(http) to go to the Layoutgalaxy web server (www.layoutgalaxy.com) and retrieve the home page from the Layoutgalaxy's products directory(products/index.html).

In this exercise you will learn to use absolute URLs.

Type the url in the Location box as "http://www.layoutgalaxy.com" and press enter.

The browser displays the web site specified in the location box.
