Going the other way; linking up into a “parent” folder

Linking from “directions.html” to “lounge.html”.
Now we need to fix those “Back to the Lounge” links. Here's what the
<a>
element looks like in the “directions.html” file:

Identify the source and the destination.
Let's take a look at the
source and destination.
The source is now
the “directions.html”
file, which is down in
the “about” folder. The
destination is the
“lounge.html” file that sits
above the “about” folder,
where “directions.html”
is located.

Trace a path from the source to the destination.
Let's trace the path.
To get from the
“directions.html” file to
“lounge.html”, we need to
go up one folder into the
“lounge” folder, and then
we'll find “lounge.html”
in that folder.
