Specify href when target is more than one directory above?

[londres9b]

I know this is a stupid question...
But could somebody tell me how to specify in an Html <a href
how to say that the target' is one or more directories above?

Example:

www.example.com/myprofile/mypages/mypage.html

Let's say there is a directory in www.example.com/myprofile/mypages/october

I know that to specify a document on october, from mypage.html I do this:
<a href="../october/document.html">

But How to specify a document on myprofie directory?
(besides using http://www.example.com/myprofile/document.html)

thank you.

Using the dot mechanism, everything is relative to where you are at the moment. Two dots means "the directory above". One dot means relative to the current directory you are in. The first slash means "from the root".

So ../.. means the directory above the directory above where I'm currently at. ./myfile means the 'myfile' in the directory I'm in.
