It depends on how HTML is served up. If you load it locally in a Web browser, without using any HTTP server, you can use absolute file path. But this is not how HTTP server works. Normally, it cannot provide access to any files on the host where the HTTP server is hosted except those limited to the root directory set up for your site. Therefore, your URLs should use the path relative to the HTML file using it, or relative to the root; the syntax for this root directory is "~".
