Why using <link href="//something.com/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
instead of using http://
or https://
before the domain name?
If we use href=//
does it changes with link? Like while in SSL mode will it automatically be changed to https://
?
Yes, it will use the current protocol.
i.e. if the current page is
https
it will access thehref
usinghttps
.If
http
then the link is accessed over plainhttp
.This will prevent browser warnings if the hosting page is
https
and will be more secure than a plainhttp
link.
