What is the point of ./ in ./images?

Question

I have encountered multiple CSS specifications where the images are referred to like this:

./images/bg.jpg

I understand that ./ means "this directory", so what is the difference between ./images/bg.jpg and images/bg.jpg? Why would a developer use ./ in a URL?

Answer 1

You're correct - there's no difference between the two, so really it's just the individual developer's preference. There's not much more to say about the subject!
