Link to parent folder

[gwar2k1]

Is there a way I can link to the parent folder without using the absolute url?

mysite.com / images
mysite.com / special / page.html

Using the above map is it possible to put an image on page.html without using src="mysite.com/image/image.png"? eg src="..images/image.png"?

TIA

The BEST way to do it, though, is

src="/images/some.img"

The leading slash means it'll pick a directory relative to the website's root directory. The benefit over the ".." approach is that if you move page.html to some other directory deeper in the tree, you won't have to change the links.

See my post halfway down thread253-720830 for more notes on linking to other directories.
