Relative, Absolute and remote Links

There is a subtle and very important between the links in the previous example:

Relative links
refer to a page that exists in the current directory that he browser points to.
Absolute links
reference files based on the absolute location on the local file system.

Remote links
reference files based on the absolute location on complete URL.
