linking to pages a level up

[Hierophant]

. = Current Directory
.. = Parent Directory
/ = Root Directory (When used alone).

So therefore if you are in:
www.yourdomain.com/articles/june/

and your images are in:
www.yourdomain.com/images/

To access your images in your pages all you need to do is use:

/images/imagename.gif

or

../../images/imagename.gif


Never use a backslash within your HTML pages because Unix/Linux machines don't understand this as a path identifier and it can cause problems when you upload to your server.

Ive created a site recently and have made all my pages in one folder and all my images in a subdirectory below it called "images"

so when i need an image i call it by simply saying "images/picture.gif"

the main reason i did this is because i cant figure out how to link to anything if its not a subdirectory of the page im on.

well i figured its way past time to learn this, so i created a new subdirectory and made a page inside of it...
Then i tried to link to images in my "image" folder but am unable to figure out how

I also cant seem to figure out how to create hyperlinks to all the other pages (which are a directory above the new page)

nor can i link to my .css (also a directory above)

Can anyone please explain this to me briefly?

I thought that by typing in "../images/picture.gif" it would work but had no luck

Ok i figured out that using "../" would get me to my images directory

and that by using "..\" would get me to my pages in the directory above...BUT that only has worked in IE, for some reason, i still cant get my links to work in Netscape. <=(
