Relative Links, What do you use to go back more than one folder? Options

[O Neulinger]

I have a news magazine site at my school, at http://www.roosevelt.fresno.k12.ca.us/stud.../timeshome.html , and I am totally redoing it. Because my teacher wants an "archive," I want to do like the New York Times does with their articles, so the new address would (hopefully) look like this:

(All at http://www.roosevelt.fresno.k12.ca.us/students/clubs/ )

/tr_times/times_home.html - for the homepage
/tr_times/2008/01/11/jan11.html - for the archives for January 11
/tr_times/2008/03/06/mar06.html - for the "new" stuff

However, I want to link from mar06.html to times_home.html , and I don't have control of the absolute URL. I am just a student here, and the actual web designer is just letting me play around, basically. He is too busy to help me, at least right now, and my teacher wants this ish up today.

Heh. Not happening. We haven't even converted all the documents to HTML yet....

I have used ../ so far, but as I am going from one level of folders to three, I don't know what to do now. Will ../ still work, or am I going to have to cement the absolute URL? This would require hunting down the guy in charge and getting him to sit down and do it.

I use Macromedia Dreamweaver and am new at it. I started with notepad, so I will probably understand code.
