Linking

[chris9902]

ok i am not very happy but this is a simple problem and that makes it worse.

i am making a site on my computer and testing it locally but in the folder were me site is i have 5 pages.

lets call them 1,2,3,4 and 5

for each page i have a folder so it looks like this in the brower 1/page.html

ok, but the page in folder 1 i can use 'images/top.gif' becuase it is looking for it in that folder when it is not.

so i no how to do that i add ../ so it looks like ../images/top.gif

but if i have a folder inside the 1 folder, so now it looks like this 1/newfolder/page2.html.

now for page2.html i can't use ../images/top.gif becuase it is looking for it in the 1 folder.

so (here is the question) how to i link back to the original folder it is in, and not by putting C:/ or whatever becuase i would have to change the whole site when i upload it to the server.

thanks to anyone who can help me i really need it.:)

:eek: :confused:

You just need one more ../ (which is telling the browser to look up one directory. So, it would look like this:

../../images/top.gif
