html help

anybody?

I think is what you are trying to do? That will refer to the file one directory up. You can also do ../../etc.

That should be:
I think a href="../file.htm" is what you are trying to do.

no, i'm not trying to go into a directory, i'm trying to get out of one. i know if you go it goes into the classes folder and opens ib.html but how do you go up without typing in the entire file path

go to http://www.geocities.com/cpuman350/index.html and go to teachers or classes and click on a teacher or class. then go to the bottom and click math home. that's my problem. i can't get it to go back up the directory

".." usually means "up to parent directory"

Just type the whole thing. The extra two bits it adds to the html file won't make a difference at all. And the earlier posts are correct. If "above.html" is the in the directory above "below.html" and you're trying to link to above.html from below.html, you would say {a href="../above.html"}
