Understanding file paths Im lost

In this lesson, you are using relative URLs to move to different pages.

A relative URL is relative to where its current file is.

For example:

    root    |- assets       |- styles.css 
            |-
            |- includes     |- about.html
            |-
            |- index.html

On the above structure, in the index.html file, if want to reference the about.html, my anchor tag will look like this:

<a href="includes/about.html">About</a>

This is because relative to index.html I must go to the includes directory and then the about.html

in about.html if I want to reference the index.html page, my anchor tag will look like this:

<a href="../index.html">About</a>

There is only 1 file relative to about.html, in the includes directory so the two dots go back a directory and then I can reference the index.html file.

Hope this helps

Good Luck!

Thanks for your help.

My problem is, I think, is not being able to edit the mistakes in the root directory. Or the code is so badly mangled it gives me a code 80 fault.

Im not sure what to do at this point.

When you click on the link, what is the full error you get in the console?
