use a relative or absolute patha url consists or several parts

 http://www.thescripts.com/forum
 
 \___/\__________________/\_____/
   |            |            |
Protocol   Domain Name      Path
 

The path can be relative or absolute to the current path, in fact all parts of the URL are optional, if they are left out then they are assumed to remain the same as the current page

so

//www.thescripts.com
Go to The Scripts, use the current protocol

/index.html
Go to the index page of the current domain using the current protocol


//www.thescripts.com/index.html
Go to the index page of the Scripts using the current protocol

http://www.thescripts.com/index.html
Go to the index page of the Scripts using the HTTP

In the path you can also use .. to indicate 1 directory down.

To link to two.html from one.html you can use all of the following

http://MyDomain.com/Folder 2/two.html
//MyDomain.com/Folder 2/two.html
/Folder 2/two.html
../Folder 2/two.html

To link to index.html from one.html you can use

http://MyDomain.com/index.html
//MyDomain.com/index.html
/index.html
../index.html

because index.html is automatically assumed (normally) if no file name is given you can also use


http://MyDomain.com/
http://MyDomain.com
//MyDomain.com/
//MyDomain.com
/
../
