Path location 2

[k4ghg]

I want to create an HTML menu for a CD with sub directories and would like some help in determining how to setup access to files in sub folders. I am not certain the letter (i.e., D, E) of the CD Drive, but assuming I put my main menu in the root and have file1.html in folder1, and file2.html in folder2, how would I access these files when I select their menu options?

Would this be correct? <href = "..//folder1/file1.html> Thanks

If you are at the root then there is no .. (one directory up) for you to go to. I would use

<a href="file:folder1/file1.html">My new doc</a>

which will look for a directory called folder1 in the current directory, which would be root if that's where your calling file lives.

Try either

<a href="../folder1/file1.html">

or

<a href="/folder1/file1.html">

The second example will reference from the root of the CD regardless of where within the structure it's placed.

Either should work.
