filepaths

One of the important aspects of creating links between different web pages of your web site is to make sure you point to the right folder.

Addressing on the Internet is very specific. Make a single mistake and the page you want just won't be found.

Suppose your homepage is called index.htm.
Suppose it has a link to a file called famous.htm in a folder called clients
And that this file has a link to a file called biogs.htm in a folder called histories

Suppose the folder structure looks like this:

   |--- clients
   |       |
   |       |- histories
   |       |     |
   |       |     |-biogs.htm
   |       |
   |       |- famous.htm
   |
   |- index.htm

The link in index.htm would be:

<a href="clients/famous.htm">
Think of it as going in the door straight ahead of you - no corners to turn, no stairs to climb ...

In the same way, the link in famous.htm would be:

Suppose there is a link back to the homepage from biogs.htm It would be written as:

<a href="../../index.htm">
Think of it as go back one level (../) and another one (../) and now you're in the right level get the file index.htm

Suppose there's a link from biogs.htm back to <famous.htm> it would be written:

<a href="../famous.htm">
This is interpreted as go back one level for the file.
