what "../" points to 1

[seaport]

I build an asp application "sales". The file structure of the application is as the following.

/

http://wwwroot

/asp
standard.css
/sales
index.htm

In the page index.htm, the HTML code is:

<LINK REL=&quot;stylesheet&quot; TYPE=&quot;text/css&quot; HREF=&quot;../standard.css&quot;>

This line of code succesfully links the index.htm page to the style sheet standard.css.

Although the code works, I wonder what on earth the &quot;../&quot; points to. In my case, it points to the folder that is above the folder where the current page is located.

Could someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

The ../ indicates one directory back from where you are.

To point to a file in the

http://wwwroot

directory in index.htm, you would use ../.. one for sales & one for asp.
