# File lib/grubby/mechanize/link.rb, line 11 def to_absolute_uri # Via the W3 spec[1]: "If the a element has no href attribute, then # the element represents a placeholder for where a link might # otherwise have been placed, if it had been relevant, consisting of # just the element's contents." So, we assume a link with no href # attribute (i.e. `uri == nil`) should be treated the same as an # intra-page link. # # [1]: https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/REC-html51-20161101/textlevel-semantics.html#the-a-element URI.join(self.page.uri, self.uri || "#").to_absolute_uri end
