HTML Button: How to link a file outside a folder?

Question

I'm trying to find the path of the folder outside my current folder. I'm using a button to redirect to another page. But the page I want to redirect is outside the folder.

<input type="button" value="Back to Main Menu" onClick="location.href='./guestStart.php'" >

The file "guestStart.php" is outside the folder of the current page.

Does anybody know how? Thanks for the help guys!

outside which way? higher (parent)? or lower (child)? parents, you can use ../ — BReal14

yes you can get move backward by typing ../ as many time as you need to then specify your file ie: if your index.php/html is in project1/date1/x1 and the file you want it to link is in project1/date3/x4 you will need to type

<a href="../../date3/x4/guestStart.php">link</a>
