How to direct main page (index) from sub-folder page (image out)

Question

My photo gallery site has thousands of html pages, most of them are only with large photos. That is when clicking small thumb, opens a new window with large photos.

This large view html pages has no navigations. I want to add 'home' and 'back to artist' navigation in these html pages.

www.mysite.tld/gallery/artist/name/event/(here stored large images and its html pages)

this same structure goes for other artist names too.

I am using dreamweaver templates. In template, to go back folder, I added..

<a href="../index.html">Back to Main</a>

..(here artist main folder)/(artist index).html

but when saving this template as html to different folder, this "../index.html" changes to "../../../index.html" which goes to main website index page :/

I can simply type ../index.html in one page but the site has many artist folders with same structure.

so how to direct/link to artist page from its sub-folder html pages. Using javascript or any scripts?

Really sorry for this big message. Please dont down-vote because of my stupid question. Thank You.

EDIT : I tried History back() Method but that's not working because if users come from search engine, there's no history to go back to main artist page.

In simple. You click a page from google and in that landed page (large image here), you need a navigation to visit the main gallery page with other images in small thumbs or to say event gallery page (which present in up-directory in my site). So to navigate to main gallery page, I am stuck here for "how to". May be I need to do in php or something :/

Answer 1

One way of resolving this is to use absolute paths instead of relative paths. Absolute paths start with / .

I'd suggest adding Dreamweaver as a tag to your question, to get the attention of Dreamweaver users who may recognise your situation and can help.
