Greetings,

If a new folder is created within the domain, and in a file within the new folder I want to create a link back to the home page, what is the href command.

Example:

Main site: mydomain.com
Folder: mydomain.com/tour
Sub folder: mydomain.com/tour/tour5.html

I want to link a worrd within the tour5.html back to mydomain.com.

When I link to index.php it is lookng for the page within the folder tour???

Help

Greetings,
Main site: mydomain.com
Folder: mydomain.com/tour
Sub folder: mydomain.com/tour/tour5.html


Let's say you put <a href="index.php">link</a>, it will search for index.php in the current folder.

If you put <a href="../index.php">link</a>, it will search for index.php in the "previous" (or containing) folder, in this case mydomain.com

You can also use <a href="/index.php">link</a>, which will search for index.php in the root directory. This link, place on mydomain.com/file.html, mydomain.com/tour/tour5.html or mydomain.com/stuff/folder/page.html would always link to mydomain.com/index.php

I suggest you just use full paths. It won't hurt you to type it all out...

Why?

For me... No just kidding... Full paths work well because you might want to move a file to a new folder, so if the path is relative it would not break.

Thank you all for the replies. i fixed the problem with the "/" first hence allowing me to revert to the root directory.

Thanks again,
