Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 1,378 PointsWhat's the difference between "href" and "src" between <link> and <img>? Aren't they serving the same role?
I'm a little confused with the difference between "href" and "src" between <link> and <img>?
Do they not do the same think in showing the path to a file or folder and linking that to the code deck?

Resources named by href may not be loaded until actually needed, but page loading is not complete until all src resources have been loaded into the page.
