I have searched all over to find a solution to this issue.

Let's say that I am on this page: http://www.site.com/folder1/folder1/...der4/file.html

I want to be able to link to http://www.site.com/other-fold/

I have tried entering the following code but it just takes be up one level:
<a href="../other-fold">link</a>

Does anyone know what I need to enter instead of .. ? What should the code be?

Remember, I want to do this using relative links (not absolute).

Please and thank you

Is it possible for it to make it find the route directory without having to specify exactly how many levels to go up?

start the path with a "/" to signify the root.

/folder/folder/folder/file.ext

I am doing that.

Here is the page the link is in: http://www.site.com/folder/page.html

And here is the link:

<a href="/folder1/folder2/">link</a>

But when I click on that link it is trying to take me to this page:
http://www.site.com/folder/page.html/folder1/folder/2/

To set a path of www site.com/folder/page.html/folder1/folder/2/

the slash MUST not be on the href of folder1/folder/2/


Without the "/" on the href, the path will be normalised as document relative, and the href attribute will be appended to the current path.

If you put absolute links in and then move the code to some other location on the same server then you have to do less rework. However, if you move the code to an entirely different site then your site might work right away while both sites are up and running, but eventually the old site will go away and the images will no longer appear unless you manage to change you code when you move to another site. It is generally best to use relative paths in a business environment because you might not being doing the updates to that code in the future, and using absolute paths is not the standard HTML development approach.
