No, an absolute path is different than a relative path. It represents

Yeah... just to clarify further:
Absolute path:
http://www.example.org/css/main.css
Relative path that will start at whatever comes after your domain
(i.e. it's still relative to the domain):
/css/main.css
Relative path that starts after the request uri:
css/main.css
I'm not positive on this... but I think an addition advantage of
relative urls (in addition to not needing to know the domain) is that
the browser will reuse the same http connection. Can anyone verify
that off the top of their head?
