Imagine a public folder for a server (where your website's static files like HTML, CSS, and Js are stored) as a virtual directory on your computer. When you want to direct a user to a different location within your site, you can use the code
<a href="[PATH]">Your link</a>
as you mentioned. Just remember that if you wish to navigate to another
folder such as
yoursite.com/anotherfolder
, you need two things in place:
- Ensure this specific folder structure exists on your site:
[ROOTFOLDER]/anotherfolder/index.html
In this scenario, it's important to include a file named index.html
because it serves as the default path when no specific file is indicated (for example:
yoursite.com/anotherfolder/file.html
).
- The HTML anchor tag should begin with a slash, like
<a href="/anotherfolder/">Your link</a>
.
I hope this explanation addresses your query.
Important Reminder
When referring to a path like http://yoursite.com/[PATH]
, keep in mind that a subdomain appears differently, for instance: http://subdomain.yoursite.com
.
