Why does JavaScript change src to FQDN?

I have a question about Javascript I ran into a problem with it.

Currently, I am making a game. It's going very well. But when I try to get the src of a image on this way

document.write(document.getElementById('a').src);

<img id="a" src="img.png">

it always gives me the FQDN (http://example.com/path/to/file.png), but I entered it without it. It is very difficult to do some server based checks (because I use the / as delimeter)

Does someone know why this is expected behaviour and how to change the src attribute in JavaScript to the filename instead of the FQDN?

`.getAttribute("src")`. – Sebastian Simon Sep 30 '17 at 19:24
Thanks @Xufox - but I expect that .src is doing the same as getAttribute("src"). Am I wrong? – Koen Hollander Sep 30 '17 at 19:25

Attributes and properties are not the same thing. – Sebastian Simon Sep 30 '17 at 19:27
They look like the same, is there a specific reason whhy the chose to do this? It's confusing me a bit. – Koen Hollander Sep 30 '17 at 19:31
