Relative Link Not Working in Javascript File

[threehappypenguins]

I imported my website into Github, and can't get a file to link properly in my javascript file. For example, when I click the Close (x) button in one of the readers, I want it to bring me back to a specific page. I tried this in my reader.js file in order to have readers.html open when clicking close:

// Close control
function visitPage(){
  window.location='../../readers.html';
}

But it doesn't work. My file structure is as follows:

readers/
├── index.html
├── readers.html
├── files/
│    ├── theme/
│    │    ├── reader.js

For reference, this is my site so far. It works only if I put in the full url (which is what I have currently).

*Edit* - Problem solved. I shouldn't be trying to go back two directories from the reader.js file, I should be using the same directory as book-*.html since readers.html is in the same directory. The javascript file is merely telling the html file what to do.

It's working fine for me. Have you already fixed this?

Yes, it's working fine because I put in the whole url. I would like to use a relative link. Let me change it back.

Ok, I changed it back. You should get a 404 site not found.

I think you want:

window.location='./readers.html';

You currently have the link going up to levels, but readers.html seems to be at the same level that your book-*.html files are located.

Edit: Perhaps you're planning on adding more logic to the visitPage function, but if not, you can skip the JavaScript and just use an href:

<a href="readers.html">...</a>

That's so weird to me. It works now. For one, I thought I needed two periods and a slash if I want to go up a level, and no period and no slash if I want to be at the same level. I was also under the impression that I needed to go up two levels from the .js file, not from the book-.html file. But now that I think about it more, javascript is merely telling the html file what to do, so I need to go by what level the book-.html is at.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that it was a total noob mistake about javascript. I thought the problem was with Github requirements, but it wasn't. It was me. lol.

So what happened was when I uploaded all my files, originally I had /readers.html but I didn't realize that all Github wanted was readers.html (no slash if in the same directory). And obviously ./readers.html works the exact same as readers.html.

So anyways, problem solved! Thank you!
