Basic HTML - how to set relative path to current folder

Question

Lets say I am currently at  http   example com folder page html  Is it possible to create a relative link on this page that points to http   example com folder  without specifying folder anywhere   And using only HTML    UPDATE  As it turned out    works only in non-strict doctype mode  while   works in both modes  so it is still a better answer in my opinion     Thanks everybody

You can use         to mean up one level  If you have a page called page2 html in the same folder as page html then the relative path is    page2 html    If you have page2 html at the same level with folder then the path is        page2 html

For anyone who has found this thread  addressing relative paths has always created arguments over what is correct or not   Depending on where you use the path to be addressed  it will depend on how you address the path   Generally      and    do the same thing  however you wouldn t use   with a file name  Otherwise you will have the browser requesting  filename ext as a file from the server  The proper method would be   filename ext       addresses the path up one level from the current folder  If you were in the path  cheese crackers yummy html  and your link code asked for    butter spread html in the document yummy html  then you would be addressing the path  cheese butter spread html  as far as the server was concerned      will always address the root of the site

The top answer is not clear enough  here is what worked for me  The correct format should look like this if you want to point to the actual file     lt a href    page html  gt    This will have you point to that file within the same folder if you are on the page http   example com folder index html
