Assist Yourself:
Some URL Guidelines
- Plan carefully: moving files around, once they are out there,
gets very complicated!
- Within a directory structure, use relative URLs rather than absolute ones.
- For references to other directories, use absolute URLs.
- When you can, use the default file name for each directory
(e.g.,
welcome.html or index.html).
- To get to the opening page:
- of the current directory, use
"
./"
- of the parent directory, use
"
../"
- Use subdirectories liberally.
- Avoid
http://.../ whenever you can.
