Caveat lector, although '..' works great 99.9% of the time, be careful in
the presence of symbolic links!

This warning is only appropriate when you are working
directly with a Unix file system.

In URL's "../" always refers to the URL you get by cutting
from the end of the current URL until you have removed two
"/", and then adding one "/". Some examples:

- On a page you get with the URI "/temp/some/page.html",
   "../" refers to the URI "/temp/".
- On a page you get with the URI "/memorial/archive/",
   "../" refers to the URI "/memorial/".

Play well,

Jacob
