2,062 PointsHTML website part 2 HELP!!!!!!!
here is my problem and please take under consideration I am a adult ADHD learner. I got to the point where if the files (index.html) and (another_page.html) are in the same folder (links) I can get them to link however, when I move (another_page.html) to (my_directory) or (my_folder) the link is broken and will not return to index.html. I tried the <a href="../index.html">Go Back. I am using EditPad Lite 7 and I have tried in notepad as well. PLEASE HELP!!!! IM me under google hanglouts if that helps im:randaperry05

To get back from another_page to index.html use: <a href="../index.html">Go Back</a>
The ../ looks at the folder above the current folder

The way it works is that you have to put your files in the correct folder relative, to your HTML file.
Here's an example:
Does that help?
If not, you can read up about absolute vs relative paths

<a href="my_directory/another_page.html">Other Page</a>
Sorry of the markup is a little off I haven't been programming for a couple of months and am a little rusty at the moment.
