Path question

[Mainer82]

I'm not sure how to title this thread, so let me explain it here:

Is it better when in a CSS file and HTML file to link to the full path of an image? Such as http://www.sitepoint.com/images/img.png or is it better to do this: ../images/img.png? Or does it not matter? I'm looking for less HTTP access requests.

Thanks in advance.

To my knowledge, it makes no difference. There will be a GET request for either one, because the browser will convert the relative address to the full canonical address anyway.

cheers,
