How should the path to css, js look like?

Question

Hello. Such a question, does it matter what the link to the css file looks like?

<link href="http://site/styles/styles.css" rel="stylesheet">

With URL
or <link href="styles/styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
without URL
thanks.

Answer 1

no url

Answer 2

[IMHO mode on]
As for me, you do not need to specify the site address, but put / before the paths - yes. And yet - it seems to me that it would be more reasonable to name the folder with styles css, and with scripts - js.

Answer 3

There is absolutely no difference. But when you develop a site on your local, you probably use a relative address (without a URL), so, for me, using a relative address looks more logical

Answer 4

It's most likely a matter of habit. I write with url, I like it more from an aesthetic point of view. Changing such a url when transferring to a new domain is as easy as shelling pears. Most CMS have the ability to add the url automatically.
I also add a URL to all pictures and scripts on the site
