In browsers that support browsing files on a local disk this <A HREF="../">link</A> will show the contents inside the PageSpinner Examples folder.
<P>
The HTML Code for the link looks like this:
<FONT COLOR="555555">
<PRE><A HREF="../">link</A></PRE>
</FONT>
Since this file is located in a folder inside the Examples folder the file path is set to <TT><FONT COLOR="555555">"../"</FONT></TT> that tells the browser to display the contents in the folder above. See the PageSpinner AppleGuide for more information about relative file paths.
<P>
Both Internet Explorer 4.0 and Navigator 4.0 have good support for browing your hard disk in this way.

This technique can be useful to view contents located on a multi-platform CD-ROM. It might also be useful to browse contents located on a local disk on platforms that lack the ability to use the MacOS Finder.

<FONT SIZE=-1>Note that a browser such as Netscape 3.0, doesn't seem to be able locate a file if the path to the folder contains a character witch an ASCII code > 127.
