<a href=""> root of folder rather than index.html

Question

I have tried googling but all of the links I find are about linking resources, for example images with ../, Might be an easy question to solve - but internet searches aren't helpful...

Say I have the folder "html" of which my webserver would use as the root, within that folder is index.html, page.html and page2.html, when linking something I'd usually do: <a href="index.html">Home</a> but is there a way to link the root, so you get demos/ rather than demos/index.html.

Answer 1

./ is the notation for the root of the current folder

Answer 2

Use

<a href="../abc.html">Back to Fruits List</a>

.. Goes to root ,and you can fetch any page after that.
