is this URL format safe to use for all browsers.
I 8 can't say anything for sure, but you should 7 be able to test it in different browsers.
And 6 is it a standard?
Technically, it is called 5 "network path reference" according 4 to RFC 3986. Here is the scheme for it:
relative-ref = relative-part [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]
relative-part = "//" authority path-abempty
/ path-absolute
/ path-noscheme
/ path-empty
There is 3 a problem though, when used on a <link> or @import, IE7 2 and IE8 download the file.
Here is a post 1 written by Paul Irish on the subject:
Yes I believe it is. Paul Irish coined the 5 term Protocol Relative URL.
I'd also point out it's part of the 4 HTML5Boilerplate project which evangelises cross browser 3 compatibility.
Note: there is an edge case in 2 IE6 with google analytics which is mentioned 1 in Paul's article. So it's not perfect.
Should be safe.
Is specified as format to 2 use in Google's HTML/CSS styleguide: EDIT: latest 1 url : https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.xml#Protocol
