Websites: Part 2

Im having an issue connecting the two web pages together.

This is what I have for the first page for index.html

<a href="my_directory/another_page.html">My Link</a>

Here's the second page of code for another_page.html

<a href="index.html">Go Back</a>

I'm sorry if I'm not making too much sense. I'm not too good at explaining this via discussion board.

If your directory structure looks like this:

index.html
my_directory
    another_page.html

Then any links in another_page.html linking back to index.html need to refer to the parent directory. You can do that by using two periods like this:

<a href="../index.html">Go Back</a>

This means, "go back one directory and link to index.html"
