Structuring html links

I'm working on my site on localhost. I have my directories as follows:
My index page is located directly in the site folder as such:
../htdocs > mysite > index.php
My our-profile page is located in sub-folder called about us as such:
../htdocs > mysite > about-us > our-profile.php

I have a link on the our-profile.php page that should link back to the homepage like this:
<a href=..\index.php>Home</a>.

But i keep getting a 404 - Not Found error. It uses the about-us directory as the root. So the link above tries to search for :
http://localhost:8888//mysite/about-us/mysite/index.php
instead of
http://localhost:8888//mysite/index.php

How do i re-structure the links?.

EDIT: I'm working with dreamweaver. Could it be an issue from dreamweaver?

Solution

  • you're using backslashes, use forward slashes

    <a href=../index.php>Home</a>.
