As many of you may know, I have a website. On that note, I have a [hopefully] brief question about proper syntax. In the main folder I have an index.html page which serves as the default page for the site. In that same folder I have a sub-folder 'paphspecies'. Inside the paphspecies folder is another index.html. In order to link to the paphspecies index.html from the main folder, do I just use the tag: <a href="paphspecies"></a> Or is there something I'm missing? In the website checker thing that comes with the webhosting, I keep getting Error 301: moved permanently But when I actually go to the page through my browser, everything loads just fine. Any help would be appreciated! --Stephen
Oh, and you may need some text inside that anchor in order to actually get something to link to... <a href='paphspecies/index.html'>paphspecies</a>
If I understand you correctly, you might want to try " ../paphspecies" instead of "paphspecies". Actually, the proper syntax might include another slash at the end, but it obviously will work either way (since it works as it is). - Matt Oops, I had an extra "." in there. And of course Tien is right; that's from another directory... shouldn't be necessary from the home page.
../ to move out of a directory back to the previous directory. <a href="foldername/filename.html"> </a>
you may also include a target="_blank" if you want it to open in a new window ie. <a href="paphspecies/index.html" target="_blank">Click here</a>
Thanks for the tips, guys. I'd like to leave out the 'index.html' part of the links, if possible. I will try out some of the suggested combinations. --Stephen
