HTML File Paths

File path in a website is the location of a file in that website. This path might be relative (in reference to current path) or absolute (full URL of file).

Syntax

Following is the syntax:

1) Relative path

src="ImgFolder/picture.jpg"

src="../ImgFolder/picture.jpg"

src="/ImgFolder/picture.jpg"

2) Absolute path

src="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/html5/foo.mp4"

Let us see an example of HTML DOM Video src property−

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML DOM Video src</title>
<style>
   * {
      padding: 2px;
      margin:5px;
   }
   form {
      width:70%;
      margin: 0 auto;
      text-align: center;
   }
   input[type="button"] {
      border-radius: 10px;
   }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<fieldset>
<legend>HTML-DOM-Video-src</legend>
<video id="wordPressIntro" width="320" controls src="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/html5/foo.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video><br>
<input type="button" onclick="getTrackDetails()" value="Get URL">
<input type="text" id="textSelect" placeholder="Full Name...">
<div id="divDisplay">
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
<script>
   var divDisplay = document.getElementById("divDisplay");
   var textSelect = document.getElementById("textSelect");
   var wordPressIntro = document.getElementById("wordPressIntro");
   function getTrackDetails() {
      if(textSelect.value === 'admin')
         divDisplay.textContent = 'Video URL: '+wordPressIntro.src;
      else
         divDisplay.textContent = 'Cannot Provide URL, Unauthorized User';
   }
</script>
</body>
</html>
